CEBU CITY, Philippines -- The country’s largest organization of medical professionals denounced Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia on her advocacy on tuob (steam inhalation in English) as a solution

CEBU CITY, Philippines — The country’s largest organization of medical professionals denounced Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia on her advocacy on tuob as a solution to the coronavirus disease 2019 , and on calling out doctors who criticized her.

“She belittled some doctors who took exception when she promoted the practice of tuob to treat coronavirus disease 2019 ,” the group added. Garcia, in a live press conference last June 23, called out two doctors who posted unfavorable remarks about tuob or steam inhalation as means of alleviating symptoms of COVID-19, a practice the governor promotes. The governor, in a separate statement, also pointed out that the comments made went as far as threatening to slap her, burn down the Capitol, and cremate the workers doing tuob.

“Contrary to Governor Garcia’s claims, tuob does not treat COVID-19. Worse, it may facilitate the virus’s aerosolization and contamination of nearby persons, objects, or surfaces. Equally as disturbing, it may foster a false sense of security and well-being that in turn may cause an infected person to spread the virus,” said PMA.

Shhhhhh.. stop and focus on the virus!

gwengarcia1ph actually toned down during her presser today. Stop the nasty trading of punches and senseless bickering and just work together to mitigate the risk of contagion!

Publish also what the doctors actually said about Gov Gwen. Let’s see if what they said is respectful.
