— Official Gazette PH (@govph) October 2, 2014
Actually, P2.95B of that P5.27B increase (more than half) can be attributed to the increase in the Medical Equipment (Capital Outlay) budget of the Philippine General Hospital which is under the University of the Philippines Manila.This dual existence has led to its tenuous history. In early 2014, the addition of PGH as sin tax recipient was questioned by the Health Secretary. There have been proposals to separate PGH from UP Manila, specifically to address the budgeting problem.
| Year | Amount in billion P | Percent change from previous year | ||||||
| Total | CO | MOOE | PS | Total | CO | MOOE | PS | |
| 2009 | 24.23 | 2.93 | 3.62 | 17.68 | ||||
| 2010 | 23.84 | 1.80 | 3.90 | 18.14 | -1.58% | -38.62% | 7.88% | 2.61% |
| 2011 | 23.41 | 0.00 | 2.80 | 20.60 | -1.83% | -100.00% | -28.16% | 13.55% |
| 2012 | 23.81 | 0.19 | 3.00 | 20.62 | 1.73% | 7.03% | 0.10% | |
| 2013 | 34.92 | 3.37 | 6.43 | 25.13 | 46.66% | 1671.05% | 114.23% | 21.86% |
| 2014 | 38.07 | 3.93 | 9.14 | 25.00 | 9.02% | 16.91% | 42.15% | -0.51% |
| 2015 | 43.34 | 8.25 | 10.32 | 24.76 | 13.84% | 109.81% | 12.97% | -0.94% |
The P5.27B increase can be broken down into:
| Category | Increase in billion P |
| Capital Outlay | 4.32 |
| MOOE | 1.18 |
| Personal Services | -0.24 |
Personal Services (PS) in total, which is mostly salaries for staff and teacher, went down by almost a quarter of a billion. This amount is less than 1% of the total budget for PS and could just be attributed to rationalization of the teaching and administrative positions for the SUCs.
In the most extreme case, CamSur Polytechnic College had its PS budget more than halved from P91M to P41M.
