Dismissal of raps vs PhilHealth execs upheld

Quick Summary:

THE Court of Appeals (CA) has affirmed the dismissal of the administrative charges filed against three officials of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) who investigated and recommended the filing of criminal and administrative charges against some of the agency’s officials for their alleged involvement in anomalous release of P2.7 billion under the agency’s Interim Reimbursement Mechanism Policy.

Limsiaco charged the three PhilHealth officials with violation of Section 21(e) of Republic Act No.1103 or the  “Ease of Doing.

It also noted that the committee gave the petitioner an opportunity to answer the allegations against him but opted to detail and delay the proceedings by questioning the respondents’ authority.“Verily, petitioner had been given ample opportunity to present his side of the case and submit an explanation on the merits of his defense, but he failed to do so,” the CA declared.
