A high-ranking official of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) admitted that the disbursements for the controversial Interim Reimbursement Mechanism (IRM) from March to early June were illegally released. 

During the joint hybrid hearing by the House committee on public accounts and the committee on good government and public accountability, Deputy Speaker Rodante Marcoleta grilled PhilHealth officials on the release of IRM funds to various healthcare facilities.

Rodolfo del Rosario Jr, PhilHealth senior vice president for the legal sector, made the admission as he was grilled by Deputy Speaker Rodante Marcoleta during the resumption of the joint House committee investigation on the anomalies hounding the state health insurer on Thursday, August 20. 

“Sir, it would appear that those funds were not released based on the prerequisite set by the circular on the publication and the furnishing of copies to the ONAR (Office of National Administrative Register),” Del Rosario said. 

“Yes I agree, Mr Chair. I agree with the chairman that it’s illegal,” he added.
