Threat to lifeCasuga is not the only doctor who was transferred to another town due to a perceived threat to life.
A doctor who was previously deployed in another town in the Visayas also refused to sign bidding documents that the mayor asked her to sign. The bidding was dated Jan 4, 2012, a day when she was on leave for her sister's birthday.
"Actually, everybody sa internal, they advised me, 'Pirmahan mo na lang yan. Okay lang yan. Papel lang yan.' Pero hindi eh," she said. (Actually, everybody in the office advised me to sign the papers. They told me, "It's okay. It's just paper." But no.)
"It will haunt me for the rest of my life, the rest of my career… Bakit ko isasakripisyo yung buong buhay ko (Why will I sacrifice my life) just for the comfort of this one person?" she asked.
The doctor, who is now a Municipal Health Officer (MHO) in a different town, said she was pulled out of the town due to "poor LGU support" and "threat to life."
