MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is taking a hands-off stance on potential graft allegations involving Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa and an undersecretary, pending proof of wrongdoing, according to Palace press officer Claire Castro.
Herbosa, who has frequently been mentioned in reports of a possible Cabinet reshuffle, is once again under scrutiny after a health workers’ group asked the Office of the Ombudsman to investigate him and Health Undersecretary Albert Domingo for possible graft related to a state-funded business-class trip to Switzerland.

“For now, the president will not reprimand anyone because he has not seen any evidence of wrongdoing,” Castro said at a briefing.
