President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered an investigation into the alleged anomalies surrounding the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), Malacañang confirmed Friday.
This, after PhilHealth’s Anti-Fraud Legal Officer Atty. Thorrsson Montes Keith, who resigned from his post last July 23, claimed “widespread corruption” in the state health insurance agency.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said Duterte has asked Undersecretary Jesus Melchor Quitain of the Office of the Special Assistant to the President to investigate the matter.
“We view the allegations of Mr. Keith a serious matter and therefore enjoin him, and other officials, to cooperate with the ongoing investigation,” he also said.
Roque had earlier revealed that the allegedly overpriced purchase of an IT system worth over P2 billion by the PhilHealth is being investigated.
