PhilHealth president Ricardo Morales made this disclosure as he justified the agency’s information technology (IT) project, which is now tainted with corruption allegations.
“Hindi ho umaabante yung IT System Development program. That’s the main reason. Kasi yun ho ang malaking makakasagot sa issues about corruption,” he said.
With the planned IT program, Morales said, Philhealth could clean up its database and identify those members who are still active.“For example ho sa ngayon, meron tayong 5,000 members an according to our database ay 130 years old,” he said.
