“No one deserves to be treated inhumanely," Human Rights Commissioner Leila De Lima stated regarding the 43 health workers who were arrested for suspected links with the communist New People’s Army (NPA) on Feb. 6 in Morong, Rizal. Although all 43 health workers had shown no traces of physical torture based on medical check-ups conducted by the commission’s doctors, they had been subjected to mental torture through continuous blindfolding and repeated interrogations using scare tactics, such as "making them believe that they can be killed or disappear anytime or that something will happen to their families if they don’t cooperate."
The 43 health workers are restrained of their liberty and without a doubt have experienced mental torture after their arrest. Among the arrested health workers detained at Camp Capinpin are two doctors—Alex Montes and Merry Mia Clamor and both of them had injuries around the eyes and on their wrists. It means that, health workers have not just experienced mental torture but some have experienced physical torture as well; dissimilar from the commission’s doctor medical check-ups concluded.
The sufferings of 43 health workers who allegedly suspicious as NPA are too much. Each family of them desires on their freedom, which health workers deserve.

The First Pace of Our AdEPT Class
Yesterday, we started our Advance English Proficiency Training (AdEPT) and ¾ of II-A English were willing to spend time for it. When it comes to grades for this course, it will credit no one. Despite this, I still decided to attend and give my time to this course because I am hoping that I will learn a lot from this.
The knowledge will be shared by Prof. Grama would probably provide solutions to my grammatical lapses, lack of vocabulary, and the other hindrances I experience in using English. I learned from yesterday’s lesson, Prof. Grama is a fluent speaker of English. She should be good because she is professional.
Aside from the benefits from this course, I am still aiming for the certificate to be given after this course because as far as I know, it will help me in landing a job after I graduate and apply in whatever career. It is definitely a plus factor for me.
