Mayor Benjamin Magalong has signaled that his group is set to investigate the Department of Health (DOH) following allegations of fund misuse linked to the agency’s Medical Assistance for Indigent Program (MAIP), which reportedly served certain political interests during the previous elections.

“Hindi lang diyan sa DPWH natatapos yan, meron pa ‘yan DOH akala nila wala sa front sight namin ‘yan, yan si Ted Herbosa, malapit ka na rin,” Magalong told DZRH’s Dos Por Dos.

The mayor emphasized that his organization, Mayors for Good Governance (M4GG), has received numerous complaints regarding the equitable distribution of MAIP funds.

“Sa Mayors for Good Governance isa rin ‘yan sa mga tinitignan namin, marami kaming natatanggap na complaint diyan,” he said. “Hindi equitable ang distribution ng MAIP.”

Magalong further indicated that scrutiny of government agencies will not be limited to the flood control scam, citing previous investigations into the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

The M4GG plans a thorough probe into the DOH and other implicated agencies, reinforcing its commitment to transparency and accountability in public service.
