PhilHealth senior execs asked to submit courtesy resignation
PhilHealth President and CEO Dante Gierran has ordered all vice presidents, senior vice presidents, and senior managers to submit their courtesy resignations as part of his reform efforts for the state insurer.
The order, issued through a memorandum dated September 30, requires compliance by October 5.
Presidential spokesman Harry Roque stated that Malacañang supports Gierran's initiative, calling it the "fastest" way to reorganize the corruption-tainted firm.
Gierran was given until December by President Duterte to fix the issues within PhilHealth, including suspending, terminating, and filing cases against those involved in irregularities.
Roque expressed confidence that Gierran will be guided by the findings of previous inquiries made by the Senate and the Department of Justice-led task force when deciding whose resignations to accept.
