Conflict of interest: Sen. Panfilo Lacson, during the Kapihan sa Senado forum Wednesday, June 19, says the involvement of unscrupulous PhilHealth personnel in “squandering" taxpayers’ money could reach more than P250 billion. Lacson, in the same forum, bared that Health Secretary Francisco Duque III, who is also chairman of the board of PhilHealth, entered a contract of lease with his own family business to house PhilHealth office in Dagupan City. “If this is not conflict of interest, I don’t know what it is.” (PRIB Photo by Cesar Tomambo/19 June 2019)
