Morales, AFP, President and Chief Executive Officer of PhilHealth, lawyer Thomson Montes Keith said that among the reasons of his resignation is his opposition to the mandatory payment of PhilHealth contribution by Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) for it is being unconstitutional and not part of the Universal Health Care Law.
