Acidre questions dela Rosa's critique of health project as distraction from EJK investigations

Tingog Party-list Rep. Jude Acidre questioned the timing of Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa's critique of a health project involving PhilHealth and the Development Bank of the Philippines. Acidre suggested the criticism might distract from ongoing investigations into extrajudicial killings. Dela Rosa raised concerns about the legality of the agreement, asking why PhilHealth and DBP partnered with a party list instead of the Department of Health. He expressed doubts about Tingog's ability to assist local governments in the healthcare initiative. Acidre defended Tingog's role, stating the party list would support local governments without managing funds or projects. He emphasized that Tingog's participation aims to improve healthcare access in underserved communities, not to undermine existing government agencies.
