The PACC was set to file cases against at least 3 officials “related” to DOH.
On Monday, Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) Commissioner Greco Belgica said that the PACC was set to file cases against at least three officials “related” to the Department of Health (DOH) as it also investigated nine cases of alleged irregularities at the agency.
Belgica said that the filing of cases was in line with PACC’s promise to file cases every week against high-ranking government officials. According to Belgica, cases against 11 officials were filed last week. Belgica, however, didn’t disclose which agencies they belong to.
Also, Belgica didn’t mention the names of the officials and the background of the cases that were set to be filed.
“Last week we filed [cases] against 11 officials. This week we will be filing again sa I think three or four officials related to DOH. Every week ‘yan, undersecretaries, heads of agencies, mapafilian namin. Sa Ombudsman ‘yan,” Belgica told ABS-CBN’s Teleradyo.

Belgica also said that Health Secretary Francisco Duque III was aware of the investigations being conducted by PACC about the DOH.
He also cited the cases being investigated by PACC as Senator Manny Pacquiao encouraged the Department of Health to present an accounting of its expenses for the COVID-19 pandemic response.
Moreover, Belgica said that PACC was awaiting documents from Senator Pacquiao regarding his claims that corruption was happening in other government agencies.
