In view of the recent pronouncements of Atty. Harry Roque on the issue of WellMed whistleblowers, the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) is continuously cooperating with the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Presidential Anti-Crime Commission (PACC) to ferret out the truth on the matter. The said cooperation have resulted to the filing of 32 cases against its senior officers and employees based on the voluminous documents provided them as directed by Congress.
PhilHealth constantly provides the NBI and PACC with relevant information and documents that they require in recognition of their authority and mandate to conduct investigations over allegations of corruption and fraud. Parallel to these, PhilHealth continues its internal investigation and inquiry into its various processes to further improve or correct these processes if need be, with the end in view of making its services more efficient and responsive to its members and stakeholders.
Whenever warranted, it defers its findings especially of criminal liabilities only to the NBI being the competent agency with whom it has an existing cooperation under a Memorandum of Agreement.
