Malacañang said the qualifications sought to lead PhilHealth, which is shrouded in controversy over the alleged corruption mafia, are simple.
This was stated by Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque after PhilHealth President and CEO Ricardo Morales submitted a resignation letter.
Sec. Roque, any PhilHealth leader must have office management skills or managerial skills.
According to Sec. Roque, in addition to such qualifications, it is also important that the office leader knows how to guard the treasury.
If this is not possible, PhilHealth’s resources will actually be depleted due to personal interests.
“Wala pa namang pong vacancy diyan. Pagusapan lang natin pag nagkaroon na ng vacancy. Pero ang Presidente dati ko na sinasabi zero tolerance po yan para sa korapsyon. Dapat malinis, walang bahid ang pagkatao. Dapat po may managerial skills at dapat marunong magbantay ng kaban ng bayan dahil kung hindi babantayan talagang pong napakalakas ng tempasyon para ubusin yang kaban ng bayan para sa personal na interes,”said Sec. Roque.
