May 09, 2021 THE Philippine College of Physicians-Central Visayas chapter (PCP-CV) renewed its support and expression of solidarity to its two colleagues who have been indicted for reckless imprudence resulting to homicide by reposting its official statement dated September 2020 on its official Facebook page on Saturday, May 8, 2021. The same statements would still hold true even to this day. We stand in solidarity with our colleagues and all frontliners. Our enemy is Covid-19, the PCP-CV said.
The colleagues the group is referring to are Chong Hua Hospital Doctors Elfleda Hermandez, an infectious disease specialist, and Yvonne Bettina Montejo, a pulmonologist who handled and provided medical care to the late Barili Mayor Marlon Garcia before he died on September 6, 2020.
