MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer): The Senate on Wednesday (Aug 19) urged President Rodrigo Duterte to suspend Philippine Health Insurance Corp President Ricardo Morales and other top officials of the state insurance company embroiled in corruption charges to allow investigators to access official documents.

The senators unanimously approved Resolution No. 502 authored by Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri calling for the preventive suspension of the senior PhilHealth officials after the National Bureau of Investigation and the Commission on Audit (COA) had run into obstacles in trying to obtain official documents from the state insurer.
