Sen. Panfilo Lacson, who had questioned PhilHealth transactions and disbursements, said that if the officials skipped the hearing on Tuesday, they would lose the chance to counter any new allegations against them.

A Senate source on Saturday showed a copy of a letter from Morales’ doctor saying that he needed to undergo treatment for a certain type of cancer. The source also said De Jesus wrote the Senate, attaching a copy of a medical certificate showing he had multiple heart-related ailments and was scheduled to undergo several medical procedures.

“In this particular case, we should really be accommodating and empathize,” he said. “So let’s leave it at that and respect their privacy and time for treatment, and recovery and rest.” Sen. Bong Go, chair of the health committee, said in a radio interview that he was saddened by the news about the PhilHealth officials’ conditions, but he also called on them to continue cooperating with the various legislative and executive investigations.He said he believed in Morales’ integrity and added that President Duterte also trusted the PhilHealth chief.

Guevarra told reporters in a Viber chat that the three constitutionally independent bodies would perform their “core functions” as part of Task Force PhilHealth, without compromising their independence. “All of them accepted our invitation without any reservation or condition and promised their full support,” he said.The National Bureau of Investigation and the Anti-Money Laundering Council, among other agencies, will be supporting the work of the task force, whose authority includes recommending the suspension of PhilHealth officials.“PhilHealth looks like a dense and formidable forest.

They seem to be guilty already but further questioning might force them to implicate other prominent personalities.

Pls Sen Lacson ikulong nyo po sila daming mamamayan ang ninakawan

Senator - yun lang po ba? Wala pong way na mapilitan silang ipa attend? Hmm. Mejo hindi ata patas ang batas ah

Hmm naisip po ba ng congreso (Sir Allan Peter Cayetano, Pulong Duterte, mga busy sa abs cbn) na baka pwedeng eto yung gawan ng hearing? 11k lang apektado sa abscbn pero siguradong mas madaming pinoy ang apektado sa mga ginawa neto.

🤔 such evil

Who else sees ecleo in the pic?

Biglang naging diplomatic naman ni senador

As if naman ... Yung mga 2016 hearing ba sa senado may nangyari?

Why? You mean, since nagsubmit cla ng med cert wala na sila balak umattend kahit kelan? If you're serious to get to the bottom of this issue then don't let their excuses be their means to get away. Ano yun? Cno ihehearing nyo?

.. If they didnt attend the hearing it means they claim that the allegations are true ZOOM nio poh cla sa hospital

Wrong. They're defenders are already senators and congressmen. I'm not surprised if this hearing becomes another publicity event for politicians getting face time and the usual bootlicking session. Bring in the beer!

Mga supot

basta talaga mayaman d makukulong, wala kwenta sa pilipinas

Death penalty to currupt gov. Officials.

Guilty na kaagad pag ayaw humarap. Yung mga senior officers ng ABSCBN taong humarap sa mga buwayang gutom na gutom tapos yang mga taga Philhealth biglang nagkasakit? Wow ha, luma na yan.🤮🙈🙉🙊

Ang biktima ng isang adik ay iilan lang. Wala ng hearing at todas agad. Pero itong mga naturingan Sir, Boss o Honorable: Milyon Pilipino ang nabiktima May medical excuse agad para sa hearings. BOBONG 18th Congress, kung gagawa kayo ng Death Penalty pakisama ang govt employees

Not a whiff of corruption daw.. naduterte tayo!

isn't it quite open and shut. those guilty creatures are now dead scared. if your conscience is clean, you can answer any inquiry as simple, direct, & lightly as possible. no stress unless fabricating or covering up. truth ought not to be complicated

pag umiiwas sa issue means GUILTY. dahil kung wala ka kinalaman, lilinisin mo pangalan mo lalo na kung mamatay kana. pumanaw ka na malinis ang konsensya. anyways, depende rin sa personaL VALUES ng mga invoLve.

Itong mga tao na to ang dapat tinatanggihan sa hospital or napapasama na lang sa death rate. sorrynotsorry

Are we going to just let them get away with it? Lumang tugtugin na pero makakalusot at makakalusot parin. Next thing you know, natabunan na ito ng bagong isyu.

Ang kasabihan...bow🤣🤣🤣
