FULL STORY: PhilHealth chief undergoing chemo, told by doctor to take leave as agency faces corruption probe

MANILA - While his agency is in the thick of a corruption investigation, the head of the Philippine Health Insurance Corp has been advised by his doctor to take a leave while undergoing chemotherapy for lymphoma.

"He is advised to complete 6 cycles of treatment during which he will be immunocompromised and vulnerable to opportunistic infections. It is, therefore, in his best interest that I have advised him to take a leave of absence," said the oncologist, whose name was redacted on the document dated August 7 and released to the public on Saturday.

Another PhilHealth official, Executive Vice President and COO Arnel De Jesus, sought to be excused from the next Senate hearing, citing several illnesses. Sen. Panfilo Lacson wished Morales well in his cancer battle, saying: "It is unfortunate that these new corruption issues have exploded at a time when his health condition is at its low point."

Zesss 😑😑😑 style mo bulok..lumang tugtugin na yan to escape the hearing panel mygeshh

Old tactics

Gas gas na wala bang bago😂gayahin kaya nila ang sa ibang bansa pakamatay na lang sila dahil sa kahihiyan...

Ilang panahon lng ang lilipas wala na yan, walang makakasuhan at walang makukulong. Pero pg ang involved ay maliit lng na tao posas kaagad yan at diretso kulungan. Masakit man tanggapin pero ganyan na talaga ang batas sa pilipinas hindi patas. Asan na yung sinsabi na LAW IS LAW!

Patayin na ang hayop na yan..

Just resign already!!!!!

Chemo para sa kamay na may cancer!!

Trend na yan dati makalusotlang!!! Dati na may issue philhealth!!! Parang wala nman nakulong dahil s corruption jan sa agency n yan!!! bekenemen

Wow for the past years may nagkasakit ba sya habang nagnanakaw?

na alala ko si gloria ....

Cover po ba siya ng Philhealth din?

Sa pilipinas, mga gov't officials and politicians nagkakasakit pag iimbestigahin.

New word: 'RANSACKTION' - plundering the deposits intended for the bayanihan steal as one act...

Ayan n nmn sila.. Pag may kaso nagkakasakit

Sunod nyan nakawhelchair angputa.

Anong tactic yan, graceful exit?

Ready na ang electric chair este wheelchair at neckbrace

Case close! Tang ina naman oo!

Kung totoo mang may sakit then pwede namn gamitin yung zoom. Hello sa magagaling mag comment sa ABSCBN hearing ingay ingay din pag my time!!!

The guilty take flight

Ilagay iyan sa kulungan para makapagpahinga

Ang hirap huwag isipan ng masama tong sitwasyon na ‘to. Kayo na po bahala Lord.

Gloria 2.0? Bahala na ang TAGAPAGLIKHA sa taong yan.

Here we go again... bring out the sick card

ok...i was n n cy....

Hahaha! Wheelchair is coming your honor...

Freeze their assets

Magko-comment sana ako pero baka ma-“Cyber Libel” ako, hehehe... naisip ko kasi ang panukalang batas na “Death Penalty”!

as usual

Pag may tinatago yan talaga biglang nagkakasakit. Hindi pala yan physically fit magtrabaho bakit inapoint. Binigyan ng chance makapangurakot ng kaban ng bayan. Mahal ni digong ang mga taga davao. Marami ng mayayaman na taga davao ngayon Lalo pa pag general ka.

Fools story. 😬😬

Karma ba yan o pag I was Lang.

Hahahaha......same old story....

RIP

Naalala ko tuloy si GMA, yung neck brace nya

hindi kaya cguro kaya binalak nilang singilin earlier yung mga OFWs ng contributions kasi pang-cover sa alleged anomalies / missing funds? pang halalan 2022 budget na po ba yan hence d man sila lang isuspend sa trabaho while ongoing yung investigation?

Hmmm.. wala maxado trolls ah.. bakit kaya

Tumaas ka na habang pwede PA, ganun Ata sinabi NG doctor Kwak Kwak nya e. OK so nag chemo nga sya, pagaling sya, pero for the whole service nay sa philhealth nag chemo sya, habang nagkakanakawan? Aba di Pala sya fit to work kng ganun

Excuse nasad

The usual alibi

Daan muna sya ospital para kumuha ng neckbrace.

He was chosen by PRRD. For humanitarian reasons, Morales can evade prosecution citing the obvious...with other long time perpetrators going scot-free!

Yung isa nag resign eto nman si tanda biglang nagka sakit....hahaha lumang tugtugin na yan.....dutz anu masasabi mo..

The doctor saved your a**

lahat sila may sakit..😂🤣😂🤣😂

Oo nga naman. Ang taga Phil health haharap pa lang sa martes bigla g nagkasakit. Saklap naman. Hahahaja

How convenient. But they can do it online via zoom.

Pag regular job, kailangan Physically Fit. Pag hindi, rest.

Ayan na. Pansin ninyo ang mga guilty? Sa ospital ang takbuhan? 🤔

sabihin mo na lang ang lahat ng katutohanan, ilabas mo na lahat mula sa iyon isipan at dibdib, makakatulong ito sa madalian mung paggaling...

TanginaMoMorales

Hahaha i-ready ang neck brace at wheelchair! Deretcho cremate nalang kaya?

Senate should still subpoena the bastard despite medical excuses. Seize his properties, assets and bank accounts until investigation is done

Easiest to escape... Nothing new

What a timely coincidence

KARMA...

Same old same old alibis. How unforetunate are the ordinary pilipinos. Regularly taken from regular payroll ending up to the hands of corrupt officials.

Bakit ba Yung Mayron may mga sakit nasa puesto.

Can u believe this blooming excuse Wow. ALL I WANT TO KNOW. CAN WE RECOVER THE BILLIONS THAT THESE PEOPLE STOLE FROM US. I DONT CARE THEIR LYMPHOMA. Basta isa uli nila Yung pera namin. Hindi yan pang regalo sa Kanila. 50yrs namin bayaran na utang.

If its true he has cancer, at the end of his time, his money will never save him. Tanong ngayon saan ka kaya pupunta? If not true, baka magkatotoo ang sakit na yan.

Joke time talaga gobyerno ng Pilipinas! Lalong lumala nung joke din mga nakaupos.

I suggest to reveal all now, Sir. If I'm going to meet God early, I might as well be ready. Don't worry about Duterte. He might not, if he goes.

Use zoom

pucha, classic excuse.. nagkasakit kayo lahat bigla? tangina!!!

PWE!!!!

Ay, iba din!!!

May zoom nman

Lumang Tugtugin n yan Dong?! Ala na bang ibang gimik?

What a coincidence!

So sino na ang haharap? Yong kunwari walang alam? Nagchechemo? Matuluyan sana!

🤣😂🤣😂 takbo, tago na...

Normal na sa govt official yung nagkakasakit pag iniimbistigahan na. Dapat idouble check kung totoo ang sinasabi ng doctor nya at kung mapatunayan na hindi totoo tangalan ng license yang doctor at kasuhan din. Pag gumagawa sila ng katarantaduhan ay malakas pa sila sa kakabaw.

Gloria Arroyo’s style Nagasakit bigla. Tingnan mga matin Kung talaganf chemo or IVF support yan.

mga ganitong matatanda , dpat nagpapahinga na sa serbisyo dhil khit pag iisip nila napapagod na rin kya hnd na reliable ang pag iisip sa ginagawa .

OMG. I LOVE THIS SONG. IT'S PLAYING OVER AND OVER AGAIN

Hi Mr. Chief, do not forget your Philhealth card, just in case since it will be covered then. Have a more healthy and 'lavish' lifestyle. Ciao!

May sakit pala. Bakit nyo pa pinapagtrabaho? Ikulong nyo na agad para makapagpahinga.

He should just quit

Aalis na yan ng bansa

2/ when called to SERVICE. If they KNOW they CANNOT SERVE IN THEIR FULLEST CAPACITIES,ie Mentally, Physically, Emotionally, Spiritually, and esp ETHICALLY, it’s high time Filipinos think of their general welfare from govt’! Enough of incompetents!

Ligtas ang may alam.

1/ If he can’t handle things,he shouldn’t have gone on board. Nothing meant against his illness. He HAS served us in another gov’t position, being from the military force. BUT, PUBLIC SERVICE IS A PUBLIC TRUST. We,the people, place TRUST over any public servant’s GOODWILL,

Kahit nagkichemo yan di naman ibig sabihin di na nya kayang humarap at magbigay ng pahayag. Palusot lang yan.

Baka naman magclaim ka pa sa Philhealth nyan para sa treatment mo.

Condolence po in advance, bago pa man kayo matepok NAUNA na po ako.

wheelchair edition 🤔

Male version of Gloria Arroyo!

Mag neckbrace at wheelchair ka rin para kapanipaniwala

Pwede nmn videocon n lng kung di pwede personal appearance. Ayos din, pag bigayan ng pera malakas, pag nabuking na, may sakit n agad...
