There is no report of any imprisonment as there are no cases filed against the health secretary, although the Senate blue ribbon committee and the House committee on public accounts began last month separate inquiries into the DOH's handling of COVID-19 multi-billion funds following a recent Commission on Audit (COA) report flagging “deficiencies” in the agency’s pandemic budget.

Naging pangalawang independiyenteng constitutional body ang Commission on Audit (COA) na nakatanggap kamakailan ng maaanghang na pananalita mula kay Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte. Matapos kastiguhin ang Commission on Human Rights (CHR) sa ilang pagkakataon dahil sa kritikal na paninindigan nito sa kanyang giyera laban sa droga, ibinaling ng pangulo ang kanyang galit sa COA dahil sa natuklasan nitong P67.32 bilyon “deficiencies” ng Department of Health (DOH) sa paggasta ng mga pondo para sa pagtugon sa COVID-19.
