Resigned anti-fraud officer Thorrsson Montes Keith has tagged Health Secretary Francisco Duque III as the "godfather" of the alleged mafia in the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth).

"Maituturing ko na siya ang godfather ng mafia (I consider him as the godfather of the mafia)," Keith told senators during the 3rd Senate inquiry into the corruption allegations in the embattled agency on Tuesday, August 18. 

Explaining his new allegation, Keith said: "Doon po sa Interim Reimbursement Mechanism, siya po ang chairman. As a chairman [ng PhilHealth board] mayroon pong due diligence po na gagawin ang isang chairman and considering na he's a doctor and mayroon siyang institutional knowledge sa pamamalakad sa PhilHealth."

Keith said that it was also Duque who approved all the appointments of "almost all of the members of the mafia." He had told the Senate panel on August 4 that alleged "syndicates" in PhilHealth ran fraudulent schemes through which some executives might have pocketed around P15 billion. 

Duque, who participated in the Senate hearing virtually, denied the allegation.
“I deny this absolutely malicious and without basis. I do not wish to dignify that allegation,” Duque said.

Duque, however, admitted there could be some syndicates involved in nefarious activities in PhilHealth.
