STATEMENT OF SENATOR RISA HONTIVEROS ON THE RESIGNATION OF 43 SENIOR PHILHEALTH OFFICIALS

Kung totoo talaga ang layunin natin na linisin at ayusin ang PhilHealth, kailangan may hustisya.

Bawal ang easy exit from justice and accountability. Kailangan may managot. Hindi free pass from accountability ang resignation letter. Naniningil ang taumbayan at hindi katanggap-tanggap ang mistulang pag-tap out lang nila.

There are no exceptions to the law. The investigation should cover everyone, especially those who have been subjects of previous PhilHealth controversies.

Ididiin ko ulit: This investigation must be seen through until the end. Ikulong natin ang mga dapat makulong. Hindi dapat binebeybi ang mga korap sa gobyerno.

While we do this, we must ensure that this does not lead to a paralysis of PhilHealth operations, lalo na sa gitna ng pandemya at marami ang umaasa sa PhilHealth para sa kalusugan nila.
