That somehow gives some ray of hope for accountability that, this time, the promise of holding people accountable would go beyond words. With only 22 months remaining in his six-year term, Duterte has to seriously work for his legacy to the Filipino people. The fight against corruption does not end in firing his own appointees accused of engaging in various corrupt activities. Allegations of misusing PhilHealth funds have long been raised from one administration to another. The PhilHealth and other corruption scandals hounding the administration presents an opportunity to President Duterte to prove once and for all that his anti-corruption stance is not mere rhetoric.
