PRC suspends Badoy’s license for 6 months

Lorraine Marie Badoy, who previously served as the spokesperson for the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC), has had her medical license suspended for six months. The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) issued the suspension, citing Badoy's actions of red-tagging healthcare workers.

The PRC's decision means Badoy is prohibited from practicing her medical profession for the next six months. This penalty stems from her public statements that allegedly targeted and labeled healthcare professionals involved in advocating for public health measures.

Badoy's role as NTF-ELCAC spokesperson often involved controversial remarks, particularly concerning individuals and groups perceived as threats to national security. Her recent sanction by the PRC highlights the regulatory body's stance on professional conduct and the consequences of making unsubstantiated accusations against fellow professionals.
