Duterte must use an iron hand to deal with widespread corruption at PhilHealth

Senator Panfilo M. Lacson on Saturday said President Duterte must use an iron hand in dealing with the widespread corruption at the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation by putting to jail those held liable.

He asked aloud why it took another PhilHealth official to go to President Duterte, through Presidential spokesman Harry Roque, to complain of what is happening at PhilHealth. In past Senate hearings, Lacson had questioned the lease of a Duque property in Pangasinan to PhilHealth and a Duque-owned pharmaceutical firm entering into supply contract with the DOH.

Lacson also said he would ask retired Brig. Gen. Ricardo Morales, PhilHealth president and chief executive officer , why he denied being present during the Zoom meeting when Roque himself stated that he was there.

Sila nga ginawang bff’s eh...

The corruption of Philhealth has been discussed (did nothing) for years. From Senators to the lowest ranks are involved. How can the people expect an honest 'PROBE' (they love doing that) and actually see the ones responsible put to prison? Pls throw away the key.

Iron hand?.ehnkung yung simpleng violation ni Sinas eh kinunsinti eh. Ngayun ako kumbinsido na di matino mag isip si Panfilo Lacson. Kaya No to terror bill!

Kung si Faeldon nga di nya napakulong eh sobrang talamak corruption sa Custom at Bilibid, sa Philhealth pa kya na Ex General din humahawak! Puro absuelto, takot ba Presedente sa militar? Please lang pera ng taong bayan yang sa Philhealth nanakawin nyu pa! Maawa kyo please!
