| CLMMRH taken over,
A three-man management team from the Department of Health took over the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital in Bacolod City yesterday, while two of CLMMRH's top officials were served orders to transfer to the DOH regional office in Cebu. The management team arrived amid complaints by employees of non release of salaries for two weeks, non-payment of most of their Government Service Insurance System remittances, and lack of medicines at the hospital, Willy Dueño, spokesperson of the Alliance of Health Workers, said.
He claimed there was no money because the CLMMRH officials were juggling funds.
Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said the management team that was accompanied
by Health Undersecretary Margarita Galon to the CLMMRH, will address the complaints
of the employees along with the numerous other problems of the hospital. | ||||

as the meeting was that important and relevant to us here in Bacolod I did not
have any second thoughts," Leonardia said. | ||||
