FEATURED STORIES

Two former employees of WellMed Dialysis Center, Edwin Roberto and Liezel Santos, earlier exposed that the treatment center continued to claim benefits from the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) on behalf of their deceased clients.

Following the exposé, the NBI conducted a warrantless arrest of Sy upon the orders of President Rodrigo Duterte.

NBI Public Information Office chief Nick Suarez earlier said the arrest was carried out based on the complaint filed by PhilHealth and WellMed whistleblowers who were former employees of the treatment center. (Editor: Julie Espinosa)
