The Supreme Court (SC) has affirmed a ruling of the Commission on Audit (COA) that disallowed the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation’s (PhilHealth) issuance of P83 million to its officials and employees in 2014.
“Wherefore, the petition is dismissed. The COA Proper Decision dated January 29, 2018 and Resolution dated August 15, 2019 in COA CP Case No. 2015-683 are affirmed,” it said.
The Court said that PhilHealth revoked the concepts of fiscal autonomy, institutional authority to fix personnel compensation, and good faith.Further, citing a 2016 decision, the SC said that it is already settled that PhilHealth does not have absolute discretion in determining the compensation of its officials.
The Court also said that PhilHealth failed to point out specific acts of grave abuse that COA allegedly committed.
