MANILA, Philippines — Department of Health (DOH) Secretary Francisco Duque III on Thursday said that he welcomes a Senate investigation that will look into his track record of public service. ADVERTISEMENT“I welcome the Senate inquiry as a way of clearing my name. My public service record is an open book,” Duque said. Duque also said that he was “pained” to be tagged as the supposed “godfather” of the so-called mafia within the state health insurer. But Duque said that the whole institution of PhilHealth is composed of “decent and competent public servants.”“The rotten eggs are not the be-all of the institution,” Duque said.
