MANILA, Aug 14 ― The Philippine health minister, facing questions over more than US$1 billion in Covid-19 spending, denied today that any money was “stolen”, as his department vowed to account for every peso.
“You will be assured that no money went into corruption. None was stolen. I am sure of that,” Health Secretary Francisco Duque told DZMM radio today. The health ministry said it will submit its explanation, including required documents, to the state auditor next week, ahead of a Sept. 27 deadline. The Manila capital region, an urban sprawl of 16 cities that is home to more than 13 million people, remains under a strict lockdown to contain the spread of the Delta variant.
