MANILA - Senate President Vicente Sotto III on Monday admonished Philippine Health Insurance Corp President Ricardo Morales' statement that his privacy "was not respected" after a medical certificate he submitted to the Senate was leaked to the public."I've said it before, when you hold a high public office, you are a servant of, and answerable to, the people," Sotto told reporters in a text message.
"It is, therefore, in his best interest that I have advised him to take a leave of absence," the doctor said. "I have not finished my chemotherapy sessions and by the way, I really feel humiliated by my medical condition being brought out in public...I feel that my privacy was violated when they published my medical certificate," he said.
