He admitted that while his office endorsed 1,003 of these to regional offices for the lodging of criminal complaints, only 11 have been filed. These include fraudulent claims worth around ₱4.7 billion, he said.“Del Rosario explained that management policy favored settlement over prosecution of cases so as not to dampen esprit de corps,” the task force said.

Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said they plan toThe Senate and the House of Representatives are also conducting legislative inquiries into the alleged corruption and other irregularities in PhilHealth, and will submit their findings to the task force.
