PhilHealth anti-fraud officer resigns over corruption
PhilHealth anti-fraud legal officer Thorrsson Montes Keith resigned over alleged widespread corruption within the agency.
Keith cited four reasons for his resignation: opposition to mandatory PhilHealth contributions for overseas Filipino workers, unfair promotion processes, delayed salary and hazard pay after starting an investigation, and rampant corruption.
Two sources confirmed Keith's resignation to Rappler, citing 'widespread corruption' as a primary reason.
In June, reports emerged that P154 billion worth of funds could not be accounted for in PhilHealth, prompting Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque to arrange a meeting with President Rodrigo Duterte and PhilHealth CEO Ricardo Morales to discuss the allegations.
