Health Secretary Francisco Duque III on the Senate Committee on the Whole findings on PhilHealth: Certainly, I intend to clear my name. RELATED:

Sotto presented the report of the Senate Committee of the Whole which stated that Duque, Morales and some senior vice presidents should be held accountable for anomalies such as the"shady" implementation of cash advances or the interim reimbursement mechanism.

B. Braum's branches received P45 million even though some of its facilities do not have dialysis machines or isolation areas and can only provide outpatient care. B. Braum had earlier denied conniving with PhilHealth, but the Senate is convinced that a"ghost patients" scheme is involved and recommended an investigation.

Sotto said SVP for Information Management Sector Jovita Aragona and Acting Senior Manager Calixto Gabuya should be charged for proposing to buy network switches at P320,000 per unit even though they awarded much cheaper models at P62,424. The more expensive model was already obsolete and unavailable in the market, the committee found.

The committee also wants PhilHealth to start outsourcing its IT services to a reputable company, Sotto added.The panel raised too that resigned SVP for Legal Sector Rodolfo Del Rosario should be charged for negligence and graft for failing to act on the agency's pending cases.

The most honorable thing to do to clear your name is to resign.

Clear my name ka ngayon? Ulol! Tagal tagal mo na sa PhilHealth, wala kang ginawa. Sagutin mo talaga lahat ha? At, ilan na ang wholesale amnesty (?) nung namumuno ka, i-report sa Senado at bayan? Also, yung reward na PhilHealth cards NI GMA per Sen. Lacson.

🙄

Someone needs to be prosecuted there...

Good riddance
