Sotto says Duque ‘deceiving’ Duterte on PhilHealth ‘anomalies’; insists health secretary is accountable as board chairman

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III has been “deceiving” President Duterte and the people for insisting he had no hand in the irregularities in the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation , Senate President Vicente Sotto III said on Wednesday.

On Monday, he told President Duterte that he could not accept his inclusion since he is a non-voting chairman of the PhilHealth Board of Directors, while the Senate supposedly spared the officials who signed the questioned transactions. “When you say govern, ang nasa batas, ang nakalagay na salita ay govern. Maliwanag iyan ,” Sotto said.

A May, 2018 PhilHealth board resolution obtained from the agency’s website also states that the Board of Directors is “primarily responsible for the governance of PhilHealth, and in charge of setting policy direction and monitoring and implementation” of the corporation’s programs.

Sotto, Lacson slam Duterte's defense of Duque'Ano, wala siya kinalaman? Aba, congrats! Billions!' says Senate President Vicente Sotto III after President Rodrigo Duterte thumbed down calls for Health Secretary Francisco Duque III to resign. Just go ahead file the case if there is strong evidence of collusion. Pero sa command responsibility e sabit na sya eh. Negligence? whatever! When the highest seat in power turns a blind eye to corruption that is biased and belligerent. Makes us question where is his loyalty to the Filipino people he swore an oath for to protect. Id say let the investigation proceed and lets see if Duque is at fault. Let the truth out. I already said. Duque is just a capo. Capo di Tutti gets the biggest share.
