National Democratic Front of the Philippines peace consultant Emeterio Antalan, detained at the New Bilibid Prison allegedly on trumped up criminal charges, was admitted to the NBP Hospital at the weekend due to chest pains.
Antalan is known to be hypertensive.
According to KARAPATAN Alliance for the Advancement of People's Rights, Antalan is among 121 ailing political prisoners in the country.
His ECG reading did not improve after hours of observation, so his attending doctor at NBP recommended his transfer to the Ospital ng Muntinlupa for cardiology work up for this apparent cardio ischemic attack.
He arrived at the Emergency Room of Ospital ng Muntinlupa at 6:30pm. The initial diagnosis was that he could be suffering from Acute Coronary Syndrome.
His wife, along with representatives of the group SELDA, Health Action for Human Rights and Public Interest Lawyer Center, are assisting Antalan as they await further advise regarding further tests on Antalan and more information about his admission to the hospital.
