The major problem that is apparent in the sector, is that which can be found in almost every sector of society in the Philippines—poverty. PGH is a government-run hospital, which means its budget is based on what the government allocates for it. Different organizations or people sometimes give donations in the form of money, food, clothes, or appliances, however, it is obvious that there is a wide gap between demand and the available resources. This poverty is fueled by the government’s budget deficit. At the end of 2001, the Arroyo administration was successful in bringing the deficit down. However, by mid-2002, the deficit greatly increased. From a full year deficit target of P130 billion, it increased to P223 billion, thus leading to dramatic slashing of budgets. UP’s budget this year is said to have been cut by P13.9 M. This means that PGH will have less to survive on. Lack of funds produces insufficiency. This insufficiency becomes obvious in the seeming lack of room for everyone. Everyday, there an estimated 5,000 people go to PGH, and most come from the lower middle class, to the lower class.
