The Save the Philippines Coalition filed charges against former Finance Secretary Ralph Recto and PhilHealth CEO Emmanuel Ledesma Jr. over the illegal transfer of P60 billion in health funds, violating a Supreme Court order.
On December 22, 2025, the Save the Philippines Coalition filed plunder, graft, and technical malversation charges against former Finance Secretary Ralph Recto and former PhilHealth CEO Emmanuel Ledesma Jr. over the transfer of P60 billion in PhilHealth funds to the National Treasury.
The move, declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, violated a December 5 order mandating the funds’ return.
The coalition alleges the funds, meant for health programs, were used for unprogrammed spending and requested preventive suspension.
Recto denied wrongdoing, asserting he acted in good faith under a congressional mandate and will cooperate with the investigation.
The case remains under preliminary probe.
