A regional executive of the Philippine Health (PhilHealth) clarified on Sunday that a 90-day preventive suspension against him had already been voided by the Civil Service Commission (CSC). Dennis Adre, PhilHealth regional vice president in Davao City, said this in reaction to a recent report saying that he had been suspended after being accused of “grave misconduct, gross insubordination and gross neglect of duty.”ADVERTISEMENTAdre denied the report in a statement. The officials included Dr. Roy Ferrer, Dr. Celestina de la Serna, Dr. Christine Liban-Lareza, Dr. Robert Salvador, then interim Health Secretary Pauline Ubial and former corporate secretary Deborah Sy. With this, he was charged with an administrative case for grave misconduct, gross neglect of duty, gross insubordination, and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service.
