00:00Doctor, doctor, I am sick, but the prescription didn't work.

00:06Legit?

00:07It's like a doctor is a fool to check up and give a prescription alone.

00:13His patients don't know that the doctor doesn't have a license.

00:18The former medical records officer of a private hospital in North Caloocan,

00:23whose name we will hide in the name of Elaine,

00:26said that there is a doctor who checks up on patients even though they don't have a license.

00:32And the doctor who introduced her was even appointed as the new president of the hospital.

00:39The prescription was fine.

00:43The doctor who introduced her was even appointed as the new president of the hospital.

00:46The running of the hospital is fine.

00:50She is the most powerful.

00:52Until she died and the management changed,

00:57the doctor who introduced her arrived.

01:01She said that as a stockholder, she has the right to do her duty as a doctor,

01:07but she hasn't passed the board exam.

01:11Elaine couldn't stop her from worrying because the on-duty doctor is not a real doctor.

01:16Because of this, Elaine confronted the doctor whose name is Janelle Nicolas.

01:23At the meeting, when she was told that she will do her duty,

01:29I told her that she can't because she is not a licensed doctor.

01:34She accused me of misconduct.

01:36She started lowering my salary.

01:39Then she terminated me illegally.

01:42She was on duty as a general physician in a private hospital in North Caloocan

01:46of a woman who finished her medicine.

01:49But she is not a board passer.

01:52In the prescription given by the complainant, Elaine, to the operatives of the criminal investigation

01:57and detection group NCR,

01:59we can see that there are two lines on the other side of the paper.

02:03The name of a doctor who has a license number and next to it,

02:06the name of the doctor who introduced Janelle Nicolas

02:10that no one can see any license number.

02:14If you are an undergraduate trainee, there is a direct supervision.

02:18But that doctor is not physically present.

02:25According to the certificate from PRZ, Janelle Nicolas is confirmed without a license.

02:33In the investigation of the receipt,

02:36we obtained a copy of the document from the Professional Regulation Commission.

02:42It came out on October 2023.

02:45One of the accused.

02:47Among those who obtained the certificate,

02:49we also obtained the receipt of the list of those who committed a crime.

02:55The name of the accused is not on the list that I am holding now.

03:00On February 19, a surveillance and trapment operation was conducted

03:04by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group National Capital Region or CIDG-NCR.

03:15One of the agents of the CIDG pretended to be a patient.

03:19But before the doc can face the charges,

03:22he must first submit an asset in urinalysis

03:25and complete blood count or CBC in the amount of Php 480.

03:30He also paid the asset of Php 500 for the consultation fee.

03:37And while waiting for the result,

03:39the doctor was spotted while explaining to his patients.

03:44Wow! Doctor, you are very busy, huh?

03:53Later on, Jerem was about to enter his next patient.

03:57Unbeknownst to him, the CIDG was already operating in front of him.

04:04We can see here in the surveillance video

04:06that as soon as the asset entered the doctor's room,

04:10the doctor immediately explained the result of the urinalysis

04:15and the CBC of the patient who pretended.

04:19In the video, if you can hear,

04:22he explained here the possible cause of the patient's illness.

04:28And after a few minutes of explanation and giving medical advice,

04:33the doctor took his prescription

04:37and recommended antibiotics that the patient should take

04:41within 7 days.

04:45The asset indicated that the operatives

04:47who were about to give the prescription

04:49were the subject of unauthorized consultation

04:51or consultation with other doctors in the hospital.

04:58The operatives entered the room,

05:00Jerem was the last one to sign

05:03and the prescription was delivered to the patient.

05:08We verified it in PRC.

05:10So you were negative in the PRC records

05:14that you are a licensed doctor.

05:17So now, you gave a prescription,

05:21a clear violation of our Medical Act of 1959.

05:25Okay. Here's the thing, sir.

05:27We already have the DOH.

05:29Arrest him first.

05:31Arrest him first.

05:32Read it first.

05:33Wait a minute.

05:34Because we have the Medical Act of 1959.

05:38Now, under the Medical Act of 1959,

05:41graduate physicians are allowed to

05:44limited practice of medicine

05:46with the direct supervision of a licensed physician.

05:49Okay. Wait a minute, okay?

05:51Atty. Calo.

05:54Ma'am.

05:55Yes.

05:56Why are you here?

05:57No. Wait a minute, sir.

05:58Because, wait a minute.

05:59Someone went here.

06:01What's your name?

06:02CIDG.

06:03CIDG.

06:04Why are you here?

06:06Because this is an attorney.

06:08Wait a minute, sir.

06:10What? Attorney?

06:12You need to explain to the court first.

06:14Wait a minute.

06:15Ah, okay.

06:16Ah, is that so?

06:18I'm supposed to be an attorney.

06:22This is a scandal, ma'am.

06:23If you don't want to follow up, go ahead.

06:25Okay.

06:26Go ahead.

06:27Okay.

06:29No.

06:30You are under arrest under the

06:32Republic Act 4224

06:35or otherwise known as the

06:37Medical Act of 1959.

06:40You have the right to remain silent.

06:43Okay. I don't think I need that.

06:44You just need to get the documents.

06:46We just need the documents, ma'am.

06:47Ah, wait.

06:48Wait a minute.

06:49We just need the documents.

06:50Wait a minute.

06:51Wait a minute.

06:52I'm coming with you.

06:53You're coming with us?

06:54Yes.

06:55You're coming with us?

06:56Ah.

06:57You're coming with us?

06:58Sir, I'm coming with you.

06:59Okay, okay.

07:00You're coming with us?

07:01I'm coming with you.

07:06When the CID-GNCR arrived at the scene,

07:09the lawyer of the hospital arrived.

07:12He is the one who will give an explanation

07:14about the previous fights against Janelle.

07:16We admitted that Ms. Nicolás is not a licensed doctor,

07:21but she is a graduate of a medical course.

07:25Does Ms. Nicolás have a pay in the hospital?

07:27No.

07:28She has a pay as the president of the hospital,

07:31but she does not ask for payment from the people who consult her.

07:36So, that means, sir,

07:38where did the patients who were paid P500 per check-up go?

07:44I don't know that.

07:45I'm not privy to that.

07:47But what I'm saying here is the law,

07:51that they can perform the work of a doctor,

07:54even if they are not a licensed doctor,

07:57as long as they are a medical student or a graduate of a medical course.

08:02And this is the most important,

08:05they have the direct supervision and control of a registered physician.

08:10And Ms. Nicolás has that,

08:12that's why she is within the ambit of the exemption of the law.

08:15But wait, attorney,

08:17it seems that Janelle was not called and consulted before she received a prescription.

08:23I just want to correct that she did not really...

08:25she is the president of a hospital,

08:28and although she conducts consultations and prescriptions,

08:34it is only for common illnesses.

08:38And that is allowed by our law.

08:42Those doctors who supervise her,

08:45they are also on duty at the hospital.

08:48But sometimes, of course, they are off-duty, they are not there during that time.

08:52So what Ms. Nicolás is doing,

08:55although there are no doctors who supervise her physically,

08:58she is called.

09:00So that still constitutes direct control and supervision.

09:03For the lawyer, this is a personal attack on them by the complainant, Elaine.

09:09These incidents are just harassment.

09:12Millions of pesos were lost.

09:15We have the different cashiers of the hospital

09:18pointed to *** as the culprit of all these losses of money.

09:23One step that we took was to ask her to leave her room at the hospital

09:30because we are afraid that she might sabotage our patients and the hospital operation.

09:36Definitely, she has personal grudges against Ms. Nicolás

09:41because Ms. Nicolás now is the president and she is the one acting all this.

09:45Elaine is back.

09:47Ma'am, your move to complain to the CIDG and to have her arrested

09:52is just a form of retaliation because you were removed from the hospital.

09:58There is no truth to it, sir.

09:59Because from the start, she wanted to be on duty as a doctor,

10:04but I stopped her.

10:06You were robbed of money.

10:08Millions of pesos were lost.

10:10I did not receive that much.

10:14Even if we just face death.

10:17But before Janelle's case against the Medical Act of 1959 came to light,

10:22a receipt was sent to the Philippine Medical Association.

10:26You cannot practice medicine if you do not have a license to practice.

10:31You can only say that exemption.

10:37If you are still in med school, senior year, you are an intern,

10:41there is a doctor behind you, they sign your prescription

10:47and they guide you to treat.

10:52But after you finish med school,

10:54if you do not pass your physician's license exam,

10:59you do not have the right to practice medicine.

11:02If the accused is proven guilty,

11:05Janelle can face up to 5 years in prison.

11:11Every medicine or treatment that is prescribed by the experts

11:14and the patient's health is at stake.

11:17So it is only right that they are in the right hands

11:22and first of all, they should follow the laws

11:26that their experts trust.
