‘Drain the murky, stinking swamp’: Sen. Panfilo Lacson during the Senate Committee of the Whole hearing Tuesday, August 4, 2020, says PhilHealth is a “murky, stinking swamp" that needs to be drained. Lacson said the agency is rife with corrupt officials who runs “a mafia-like syndicate that controls the resources of the corporation, and habitually manipulate its financial records, that even the COA seems helpless in the conduct of its regular audit.” (Joseph Vidal/Senate PRIB)
