STYLE BULOK
Akbayan Senator Risa Hontiveros on the latest fake news attacks against her

Alam po ninyo, simula ng hinamon ko si Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na patalsikin niya sa puwesto at kasuhan si Solicitor General Jose Calida, sunod-sunod na naman ang labas ng mga pekeng balita laban sa akin. Style bulok.

Regarding the alleged diversion of P10.6 billion originally meant for the payment of senior citizens' insurance premiums, the records will bear me out that this was never discussed and approved by the PhilHealth Board of Directors during my time as board member.

That's why I'm calling on our health officials to get their act together and explain to the public the records, course of activities and the overall paper trail of the government's big-ticket health programs.

What is needed is for our health officials to work together for the sake of transparency. Full transparency is in order. We must strengthen our accounting and auditing processes and ensure the long term sustainability of the Philhealth Fund vis-a-vis our desire to provide better benefits to our insured members.

I am confident that the Congressional Oversight Committee on the Philhealth led by Senator JV Ejercito will help in this matter.

Hindi po tayo kagaya ni Mr. Calida na milyon-milyon ang naibulsang pera ng kanyang negosyo mula sa mga kontrata sa gobyerno. At ngayon, may lakas pa ng loob na akuin ang kapangyarihan na habulin ang nakaw-yaman ng mga Marcoses mula sa PCGG.

Kaya huwag po tayo papa-distract sa kanilang mga panlilinlang. Tuloy-tuloy lang po tayo sa ating kampanya laban sa katiwalian sa loob ng administrasyong Duterte.
