Resigned anti-fraud officer Thorrsson Montes Keith on Tuesday alleged that PhilHealth chief Ricardo Morales tried to use him to iron out the supposed overpriced COVID-19 test kits of the state health insurer.
Keith filed his resignation on July 23 citing anomalies in the agency.
PhilHealth 'mafia', composed mostly of Philhealth's execom members, stole P15B says resigned anti-fraud officer.

"this infringement of the law had taken place with the connivance of officials"
What a shame, PHILHEALTH. I suspect that said malpractice is organizationwide, and those who may have known about it simply looked the other way and stayed silent. No way this can happen in a private enterprise under the watchful eyes of committed employees and sharp Internal Audit... ;)
The COA should resort to pre-audit from time to time using its discretion. This could have been prevented in a pre-audit.
As they use to say: PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE.
Now it takes eternity to recover the overpriced amount in a court litigation.
"Our health care system is on the brink of collapse. Our healthcare workers are burned out, physically and mentally. We are at war yet it seems that the plague of PhilHealth corruption could be more fatal than all the viruses combined" says Drilon.
'Laptops worth P100-M were also repeatedly approved by Philhealth's President Ricardo Morales, another appointed retired general.
Among the questionable items under the proposed P2.1-billion IT project of PhilHealth include the purchase of two sets of laptops worth a total of P4.1 million and P115 million.
“There will be no more reserve fund by 2021 so deficit na po tayo (we will run into deficit) in terms of collection and benefit payouts in 2021.”
PhilHealth could collapse in 2022 without additional subsidy from the government.
Want to hear the most unbelievable news? Apparently, records will show that there are 5K PhilHealth members that are 130 years old. Wow! Call in the Guiness World Records.
Unbelievable! What a shame, and they have the audacity to impose mandatory contribution for all OFWs.
OFWs “the Milking Cow” not heroes to them. Somehow I thank God to have this Covid and all suddenly surfaced. As these Corrupt people are the real Virus that needs to be annihilated.
Based on the percentage of overpricing, would it be safe to say that many people were in on the whole scheme as all of them had to get a piece of the pie?
