Supreme Court (SC)
The Supreme Court (SC) has dismissed the petition that challenged the government’s approval in 2014 to privatize the Philippine Orthopedic Center (POC) in Quezon City.
While the petition was dismissed, the dismissal was not based on the weakness of the issues presented by those who were against POC’s privatization. Neither was the petition junked because the government successfully justified POC’s privatization.
The SC said the withdrawal in 2015 by the Consortium which won the bidding for the privatization was the supervening event that led to the dismissal of the petition filed in 2014 by POC indigent patients, nurses and physicians who were joined by some legislators in the case.
