MANILA – President Rodrigo Duterte has asked Philippine Health Insurance Corp president and CEO Ricardo Morales to leave his post because of his medical condition, Justice Secretary Menardo Guavarra said Tuesday.
This, as the state health insurer faced multiple investigations into alleged corruption at the agency. Duterte earlier refused to fire Morales, a former Army general he appointed to the post in 2019.
Morales is currently battling cancer and took a medical leave last week, skipping a Senate hearing on alleged PhilHealth anomalies. (abs-cbn news)
