MANILA, Philippines — Executive Secretary Ralph Recto on Friday maintained that the transfer of P60 billion in Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) funds to the National Treasury did not affect the state insurer’s operations.
This comes after a group led by Atty. Rodel A. Taton, Dr. Cynthia C. Ng, and several other medical and legal professionals filed a motion for reconsideration before the Office of the Ombudsman, seeking a review of its resolution that cleared then-Finance Secretary Recto and former PhilHealth President and chief executive officer Emmanuel Ledesma Jr. of plunder, graft, technical malversation, and grave misconduct complaints.
