Former Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) chief Janette Garin has issued a statement anew about corruption issues within the state-run insurance firm.
On Wednesday, the incumbent Iloilo 1st District representative shared her encounter about apparent corruption within the agency.
“Masyado pong malakas ang mafia sa loob,” Garin said.
“When I joined the PhilHealth as the chairman of the board, ang unang-una kong experience noon hindi ako pinapayagang umupo sa board. Pilit na hinarang ng iilang nanandoon,” Garin added.
The ex-PhilHealth chief made the statement amid the investigations on the anomalies involving the state-run insurance company.
