MANILA - The National Bureau of Investigation-Anti-Organized and Transnational Crime Division (NBI-AOTCD) has filed a case against an allegedly fake doctor who once administered stem cell therapy on former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Members of the NBI-AOCTD, headed by Head Agent Rommel J. Vallejo, acted on the complaint filed by Dr. Eunice Salazar-Abad, who worked as an aesthetic physician for Antonia Carandang-Park.

The latter is the owner of Green and Young Health and Wellness Center based in San Jose, Tagaytay City.

Vallejo said: Even for a short period of time working at the clinic, she began to notice some irregularities and the unorthodox method being applied by Park in treating the patients. She discovered too, that Park is using her name and her license number in dealing with patients.

Salazar-Abad then verified with the Professional Regulation Commission to check if Park is a licensed doctor,

Based on a document dated August 12, 2013, the PRC certified that after a diligent search, the name Antonia Carandang Park does not appear in the database of Physician, which contains the names of those duly authorized to practice medicine in the Philippines.

The document reads, this certification is issued upon request of the Board of Medicine for whatever legal purpose it may serve.

Park gained popularity when she treated Arroyo, who had been complaining of pains due to a cervical spine surgery.

Salazar-Abad noted Park did not make any effort to speak up when reports tagged her as a doctor. She said Park also misrepresented herself as an oncologist.

Vallejo said Park filed her counter-affidavit on August 22, saying she is not a quack doctor.
