PRC suspends Lorraine Badoy for 6 months over red-tagging of healthcare workers

The Professional Regulation Commission has suspended Lorraine Badoy, a licensed doctor, for six months for red-tagging healthcare workers, a move that follows her previous penalties for similar actions against lawyers and a judge. Red-tagging refers to the practice of labeling individuals as communists or supporters of communist rebels, often seen as a form of harassment. This latest action highlights the ongoing concerns about the misuse of such labeling to target professionals and the implications it has on the freedom of expression and professional integrity in the Philippines.
