“Dalawa ito. Itong PhilHealth, ito ‘yung iniimbistigahan ngayon ni (Justice) Sec. Guevarra. . . “Yan ang would possibly be iskandalo, possibly nakawan ng pear. Itong COVID Bayanihan 1 and 2, malinis ito,” Duterte said in an engraved speech broadcast Tuesday morning.
“Kung” yan na lang ang trabaho ko sa naiwan kong dalawang taon, “yan na lang ang gagawin ko,” the president said.
Duterte recently ordered the Justice Department to lead an interagency task force to investigate PhilHealth officials on allegations of corruption that were exposed in a recent Congressional investigation.
Some of the allegations of corruption raised included the acquisition of supposedly overrated computer equipment; a budget allegedly questionable under the company’s Provisional Repayment Mechanism (MRI); and the alleged manipulation of the company’s monetary position.
In the same speech, Duterte also ordered the relevant government agencies to publish their spending on COVID-19.
