The Aklan Medical Society (AMS) has passed a board resolution providing stricter measure in accepting members to the AMS.
In an interview with KCTV & RMN TeleRadyo tandem, AMS president Cynthia dela Cruz said the association is discussing the possibility for the AMS to file charges against erring doctors who fake their PRC documents.
She said AMS is still verifying with the Philippine Medical Association (PMA), the umbrella organization of doctors groups nationwide, if the AMS can act on cases like this.
Evelyn Ejar, provincial chief of the Civil Service Commission, said the CSC had already sent an independent letter verifying Viray’s examination result.
She added that the CSC would refer the issue to the regional office in Iloilo City to study the possibility of filing a case against Viray.
She also noted that verification of licenses lies in the hands of the HRMO.
“But although it no longer falls in our mandate, we will still verify to finally get into what possible act we can do to settle this issue,” she said.
Viray cannot be reached for comment since the controversy started. He said to have left Aklan for the United States.
A document furnished The Daily Guardian, a local newspaper, showed that Viray got a general rating of 70.50% as certified by Marilou Brilliantes, unit head-VAU of the PRC records management division and as verified by Elsie S. Julian.
In the PRC certification dated June 28, 2007, a marginal note indicated that the minimum passing general rating required for the examination taken by Viray was 75%.
Reportedly, a document passed by Viray to the Office of the Human Resource Management Office (HRMO) of the Aklan Provincial Capitol showed he had passed the said exam with a 77% mark.
Viray first worked as chief of Malay District Hospital, Buruanga District Hospital and is currently chief of Ibajay District Hospital.
