"I'm confident on our own…but at the same time, since help is being offered, we are utilizing all the help we can get in resolving this issue. We are doing our very best and using all the options available," Ledesma said.As of Monday morning, PhilHealth said its website, member portal, and e-claims submission are back online while some application servers are currently being rebuilt.
