Manila Mayor and presidentiable Isko Moreno said in a press conference in Iloilo on December 15, that if he wins the 2022 elections, he will pick the right person to lead the country’s health insurer, PhilHealth.
Moreno said that the leadership in PhilHealth does not lie in the hands of a doctor or a retiree, not necessarily mentioning Duterte’s previous assignments in the department.
“The leadership of PhilHealth and top executive, maglalagay ako ng finance guy. Hindi komo PhilHealth ay health ang pinag-uusapan, it’s finances. Pera ‘yan ng mga miyembro. Dapat ‘yang pera na ‘yan lumalago, pinapalago,” said Moreno.
The presidential aspirant added that he would choose someone young and well -versed in the science of managing money.
Moreno, along with his VP running mate Willie Ong, also encourage the use of online platform to make filing and processing of claims easier, just like the Go Manila app in the City of Manila.
