From Malaya Business Insight (Mar 11): Tiamzon allowed to undergo medical exam
A QUEZON City court has allowed captured Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) leader Wilma Austria-Tiamzon to undergo medical examination in a government hospital for further evaluation of her health.
In a one-page order dated February 26 but made public only yesterday, Judge Alfonso Ruiz II of the QC Regional Trial Court Branch 216 granted the appeal of Tiamzon to leave her detention at the PNP Custodial Center in Camp Crame, Quezon City for a medical check-up at the National Kidney Transplant Institute (NKTI) in Quezon City on March 16.
Ruiz also asked Dr. Fernando Melendres, the attending physician of Tiamzon, to submit the result of the medical test to the court within 30 days after her tests.
Tiamzon, through her counsel Rachel Pastores, asked the court’s permission for a follow-up medical checkup at the NKTI based on the recommendation of Melendres.
Tiamzon was earlier diagnosed with “vertebral artery syndrome,” a condition related to the narrowing of the vertebral or basilar arteries.
Tiamzon has already undergone several medical checkups and treatments for her ailment.
She and her husband, Benito Tiamzon, also an alleged CPP leader, were arrested in Cebu in March 2014.
They are both facing charges of kidnapping and serious illegal detention.
