Walang rason para sampahan ng kaso si Department of Health Secretary Francisco Duque III.
Ito ang sinabi ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa kabila ng anomalya at alegasyong korupsiyon laban sa Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth).
Sa televised public address ni P-Duterte noong Lunes, aniya, "I have read... and even some advised me... Duque, you Sir, should be dismissed because you are not good for my administration. For some people, that's possible. You go for the safe side. And there are a lot of people who do it, they want to get rid of the problem. They would just say, 'Go ahead, dismiss him, tell it to him.' I'm not like that.
"I have read the findings and for the life of me, I cannot really find a good reason to prosecute an innocent man. Mine is to not really prosecute just for the sake of (seeing) somebody being prosecuted. My job is to see to it that the rule of law - the rules for or against a person - are followed.”
Paglilinaw naman ni Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque, tuloy pa rin umano ang imbestigasyon sa naturang korporasyon.
Aniya, "The president still has full trust in Secretary Duque and he has repeatedly said that. Nevertheless, the investigation of different government agencies will continue... and the president respects the results of the investigation.
"The president is a lawyer and he has repeatedly said he does not see any evidence against Secretary Duque and that explains why he still has trust and confidence on Secretary Duque.”
Dagdag pa ni Roque, "Let's just say the president has not seen any evidence (against Duque) and we let the investigating agencies do their job. If there is evidence, he would let the process move.”
