Retired National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Dante Gierran has the right tools to take charge of corruption-ridden Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), assured Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra on Tuesday (Sept. 1).
“Former NBI Director Gierran’s legal and accounting background, his well-known investigative skills, administrative abilities, and fiscal prudence make him fit for the PhilHealth top position, and equip him well to pursue the cleansing process and reformation at PhilHealth to their logical conclusion,” said the secretary.
Gierran, who is both a lawyer and certified public accountant, became NBI chief upon the appointment of President Rodrigo Duterte in 2016.
Gierran stayed as NBI chief until his retirement on his 65th birthday last Feb. 22.
He was again called back to service by Duterte, this time to replace resigned PhilHealth president and chief executive officer Ricardo Morales.
