SP denies appointment of PHO exec
Trabado
The appointment of Iloilo's Provincial Health Officer (PHO) was denied by the 9th Iloilo Sanggunian Panlalawigan (SP) yesterday.
This, after the discovery of some questionable entries into the submitted Personal Data Sheet (PDS) particularly the matter of residence.
As such, Dr. Patricia Grace Trabado's appointment as full-fledged PHO hangs for now until such time she satisfies the SP body with the right requirements as sought.
The decision was reached as the special session resumed late yesterday afternoon and minutes after the Committee on General Services and Human Resources concluded its committee hearing.
Trabado appeared the committee and faced off with committee chairman Fifth District Jesus Salcedo Jr. Other board members present were First District Board Members Richard Garin and Mac Napulan, Second District Board Member June Mondejar, Fourth District George Demaisip and Vice Governor Rolex Suplico.
Trabado's appointment came after the retirement of former PHO chief Dr. Carmen Bayate. The denial of her appointment though was "without prejudice" on her re-appointment if and when she manages to correct the questionable and questioned documents.
