Guevarra Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra has assured that investigations on anomalies at the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) despite the 30-day probe period set by President Rodrigo Duterte on the task force looking into corruption allegations.
“The deeper and more thorough investigative work and structural reforms affecting the central and regional offices will continue for a long time thereafter,” he said on Saturday (Aug. 29).
“We hope that the new leaders who will be installed at PhilHealth will carry on this internal cleansing and restoration on their own.”
Guevarra sits as the convenor of Task Force PhilHealth which he formed on Aug. 7 following the directive of President Rodrigo Duterte.
The President gave the task force 30 days from its creation to conduct the probe.
“The task force will be able to have a broad overview of the systemic problems plaguing PhilHealth and make appropriate recommendations thereon to the President by the end of the 30-day period given to the task force,” said the secretary.
“We also hope to be able to file certain legal actions with the Office of the Ombudsman by then,” he added.
