Kalibo, Aklan- A former hospital chief may soon find himself facing criminal charges after a fact-finding team discovered that he has no license to become a medical practitioner.
The team composed of the provincial board members of Aklan passed a resolution authorizing Gov. Carlito Marquez to file charges of perjury and falsification of public documents against former Ibajay District Hospital Anthonio Viray.
Prior the recommendation, the team composed of BM Rodson Mayor, Retired Police General Nemesio Neron, Ramon Sucgang and Daisy Briones, sought the opinion of the Civil Service Commission, Provincial Human Resource and Management Office, Provincial Health Officer and the Aklan Medical Society.
A validation with the Professional Regulations Commission (PRC) also revealed that Viray was issued a license of a health professional and not a medical doctor. PRC disclosed further that Viray flunked when he took the medical examination.
In addition to the filing of charges, the team also recommended that the PHRMO implement a strict procedure when processing appointments.
Meantime, Marquez has yet to comment on the recommendations.
Viray allegedly left the country after the issue was brought into the airwaves by various local radio stations here. (PNA)

I have been monitoring your blog being an Aklanon who resides outside Aklan. In fact, your blog serves as a primary source of news about Aklan. I believe I am not unique in my situation. Many other Aklanons who reside outside Aklan, I believe, rely on blogs like yours to be updated about what is happening in Aklan.
Given that your blog is our source of primary information about Aklan, this issue about a fake doctor has shown that our local officials give little or no effort to present their position on the issue as I read in your blog. It may mean, though, that you are not writing their responses to the issue. Have they responded?
Our local officials should not take lightly the impact of online news and blogs to their political agenda. Aklanons residing outside of Aklan influence Aklan voters directly. How? If you are the OFW and sending money to an Aklan voter, you have an influence on how the voter selects who to vote for. You the OFW is influenced by what you read in blogs like anwangaklan.blogspot.com. If the politician is not adequately represented in the online media, chances are you will have a negative concept about the politician compared to another politician who is using the power of the Internet and online forums to project his image.
Friendster, an online social networking site, has more than 10,000 members who claim that their location is Aklan. Kalibo as their location is mentioned by more than 1,000 members. Most of these are of voting age by 2010.
Going back to the case of the fake doctor. I hope to read very soon news about the actions taken by the authorities.
