Lay Theologian Wilson C. Amad condemned reports of the Department of Health (DOH) burying millions of pesos worth of expired pharmaceuticals, describing the act as public endangerment and systemic corruption.

Amad argued that procurement processes are being exploited to generate kickbacks rather than address healthcare needs.

He highlighted that inventory management failures put pediatric and general public health at risk, calling for an independent audit and stricter accounting controls to reform agency procurement practices.
