Tolentino on PhilHealth officials' promotion: Sen. Francis Tolentino reads some documents and asks PhilHealth President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) (Ret) BGen Ricardo Morales to explain why he promoted several officers who were charged before the Office of the Ombudsman and under investigation by the National Bureau of Investigation for corrupt practices. “Why promote and give a premium to persons who are supposed to be out of the government service?," Tolentino asked during Tuesday’s Committee of the Whole inquiry, August 4, 2020. He said Morales also failed to implement an executive order issued by the President asking all board members to tender their courtesy resignations. (Photo courtesy of the Office of Sen. Tolentino)
