The House of Senate, the office of the Special Assistant to the President and the Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission, have hearing on the alleged corruption going on at the Philhealth Insurance Corporation, as the result of the explosives expose’ made by the resigned Philhealth Anti-fraud legal official Thorsson Montes Keith that the state’s insurer executives may have pocketed Ph15 billion through some major transactions with the public.
As reported by PNA, a state-owned agency, in their report from Secretary Harry Roque that last Tuesday, the hearing on the alleged corruption started, claiming that the Philhealth executives are responsible for :syndicate-like implementation of the interim reimbursement mechanism (IRM) and the procurement of overpriced information and communication equipment.
The Senate has requested some witnesses to come forward and reveal all the corruptions being operated by so-called “mafia” in the public insurer.
The hearing continues led by Senate President Senator Tito Sotto.
