President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered an investigation into the reported excessive trips and allowances of the interim president of the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth), Malacañang said on Monday.
“Well, alam ko po iimbestigahan din po iyan ng Presidente,” Presiden-tial Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a Palace briefing.
The Commission on Audit (COA) had earlier asked PhilHealth officer-in-charge Celestina Ma. Jude de la Serna to explain her travels amounting to P627,293.04 in just one year despite the agency’s massive net income loss of P8.92 billion.
Roque said the President was serious in cleaning the bureaucracy of corrupt officials.
