MANILA, Philippines — The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) has suspended physician Lorraine Badoy-Partosa, who is also a political vlogger and a former government official, from medical practice for half a year over her remarks five years ago which “Red-tagged” or branded some healthcare workers as communist sympathizers without any proof.
In a 14-page decision dated May 8, the PRC’s Board of Medicine said Badoy-Partosa violated the Revised Code of Ethics of the Medical Profession when she “acted with bad faith and malice” with her “disreputable statements” in 2021 against the Alliance of Health Workers (AHW) and community doctor Natividad “Doc Naty” Castro.
