MANILA, Philippines — Inihayag ni Senate President Vicente Sotto III na pinag-iisipan ni Pangulong Duterte ang pag-aalis o gawing pribado ang Philippine Health Insurance Corporation nang magkaroon sila ng pagpupulong ng pangulo noong Miyerkules ng gabi para pag-usapan ang umano’y kontrobersiya sa PhilHealth.

“He said he wanted PhilHealth abolished or privatized but i said it might be better to wait a few months and see how the new admin[istration] performs,” saad ni Sotto.

Dagdag pa ni Sotto na pinaalam na rin nito ang inihain nitong panukalang magtatalaga sa Finance secretary bilang chairman of the PhilHealth Board of Directors.

Matatandaang itinalaga ni Pangulong Duterte bilang bagong PhilHealth president and chief executive officer si dating National Bureau of Investigation director Dante Gierran.

“He wants to further amend the anti-red tape and ease of doing business law,” lahad pa nito.

Si Morales ay isa sa mga opisyal na inirekomendang kasuhan ng DOJ task force at hindi naman umano nabanggit sa naturang pagpupulong si Health Secretary Francisco Duque III.
