By MANILA, Philippines — Executive Secretary Ralph Recto on Monday said the plunder and malversation complaint filed against him before the Office of the Ombudsman over the diversion of reserve funds from state-run companies to the national treasury is a “harassment case.”
The complaint, filed by Dr. Tony Leachon early Monday, alleged that Recto “violated the Constitution and betrayed the people’s right to health” when he ordered the transfer of P60 billion from the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) to the national treasury.
