PhilHealth’s ‘alarming corruption’ was first spotted in 2015.
Let’s have a throwback👌🏼
There are alleged unauthorized bonuses PhilHealth released to employees in 2009, 2010, and 2014 with the amount of P163.85M.
“Ghost pneumonia” patients were uncovered in 2015 following the report that Pneumonia is the top health condition PhilHealth paid in 2014. Out of 78B total benefit payment that year, it has accumulated 7.6B.
You, Risa Hontiveros, took the office in 2014 and became a member of the PhilHealth board until October 2015.
What did you do to clean the agency? Tulog ka sa mga panahong iyon? You’re right though, dapat panagutin yong mga napatunayang tiwali. Nakatatawa lang dahil tahimik mo noon, dami mong kuda ngayon tungkol sa kurapsyon.
It was only last year when fraudulent schemes that led to at least P154 billion (US$2.94 billion) losses in PhilHealth that were uncovered. This goes with dead patients undergoing kidney dialysis, ghost patients getting cancer treatments, and fake members.
Case in point: One patient from Quezon City was getting free dialysis, but even after she died in 2016, PhilHealth continued paying the rest of the dialysis. Sana all! 🙄
Who was the president during this time? PNoy, right? What did he do to fight the corruption inside PhilHealth? Wala. Puro pakipot para magmukhang disente.
To be honest it’s only Duterte who had the courage to order the arrest of the dialysis center owners for “ghost” kidney treatments and reorganize PhilHealth leadership in 2019.
Despite his effort to clean the system, corruption is undeniably present. Haaaays PhilHealth, because of you, I am now saving money to buy two sets of laptops— with one amounting to P4.11 million, while another is worth P115.32 million. 🤷🏻♂️
Those people who are blaming Duterte for the 15B amount stolen are truly out of their minds. It’s either you are blaming him because you are UNINFORMED or you are blaming him because isa kang BUGOK na pa woke.
PS: In 2007 Congressional hearing, the Vice President of Health Finance Policy testified that since 1995 PhilHealth had lost as much as 4B due to fraudulent claims. What I’m pertaining to the ‘alarming corruption’ in 2015 is about the ghost pneumonia patients because it’s where the biggest chunk of money went off.
