Sinabi ng dating anti-fraud officer ng Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) na

maituturing niya “godfather” ng diumano’y “mafia” sa naturang korporasyon si Health Secretary Francisco Duque III.

Saad ni Lawyer Thorsson Montes Keith, "Maituturing ko na s’ya ang godfather ng mafia.”

Aniya, "Doon po sa Interim Reimbursement Mechanism, siya po ang chairman. As a chairman [ng PhilHealth board] mayroon pong due diligence po na gagawin ang isang chairman and considering na he's a doctor and mayroon siyang institutional knowledge sa pamamalakad sa PhilHealth."

Ayon pa kay Keith, inaprubahan diumano ni Duque ang appointment ng "almost all of the members of the mafia.”

Samantala, mariin namang pinabulaanan ni Duque ang naturang alegasyon at aniya,

"I deny this. Absolutely malicious and without basis. I do not wish to dignify that allegation."
