It is up to Congress whether or not to push for the abolition of Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) amid allegations of corrupt practices, according Presidential spokesman Harry Roque.

“That’s congressional decision,” Roque said when asked if President Duterte will support the proposed abolition of the state corporation.

In a memorandum to Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra, the President empowered the panel conduct an audit of the PhilHealth’s finances as well as lifestyle checks on its officials and employees. It may also recommend to the President the imposition of preventive suspension of any PhilHealth official to ensure unhampered investigation.

Roque, a strong anti-corruption advocate in PhilHealth, earlier said he was amenable to the abolition of the corruption-tainted state corporation. The former lawmaker who authored the universal health care law has instead proposed creation of another agency to replace PhilHealth.
