House to probe sale of Orthopedic propertyMANILA, Philippines — The House of Representatives may conduct an investigation into the alleged anomalous sale of parcels of land owned by the Philippine Orthopedic Center to a couple last year. The resolution was forwarded to the House committee on health chaired by Quezon Rep. Helen Tan. She said the sale of the land belonging to the state-owned Orthopedic Hospital must undergo public scrutiny to find out whether or not the deal was legal. On March 21, 2018, the Philippine Orthopedic Center, through the Office of the Solicitor General, filed a complaint for the implementation of the March 15, 2009 court ruling. It is not known if the Limwans own Visco Motors Corp.Taduran said she would ask the House panel to summon the people involved in the sale of the Orthopedic property.
