Malacañang reiterated that the actions of Task Force PhilHealth are just part of its initial findings after getting flak on its recommended “admonishment” to PhilHealth Board Chairman and Department of Health (DOH Secretary Francisco Duque III.)
According to Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, he is aware that many disagree with the exclusion of Sec. Duque among the recommended officials to face charges.
He clarified that this is only the first phase and ensured that President Rodrigo R. Duterte’s defense of Duque will not affect the investigation of the group.
