"The President directs the management of the PhilHealth to institute criminal actions against those officials and employees who wittingly or unwittingly allowed such misuse of funds to take place for years," Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo said on Friday, June 7.
Opposition Senator Risa Hontiveros had earlier called for a probe into the PhilHealth payments, saying the alleged scam robbed real patients who would have benefited from the treatments. The Universal Health Care Law will place PhilHealth in charge of a larger amount of money intended to ensure all Filipinos have access to medical care.
"We will put a stop to this corruption and we will mae sure that the law on Universal Health Care is strictly enforced," said Panelo.
