dismissal from service if found “bullying” hospital patients. “I urged patients who might be victims of bully i ng by ho spit a l p e rsonnel to immediately rep or t t he incident to the provincial governor’s office for prompt action,” Emano said. Emano issued the stern warning after heari ng re p or t s t hat s ome health workers have the propensity of maligning and insu lt ing p at ients while being confined in hospitals.

He said that the warning covers all health workers – be it doctors, nurses, and the hospital rank-and-file workers.

He said that the Administrative Code provides a uniform interpretation of past presidents on the power to realign savings for worthy projects to spur economic development which are done in good faith such as the DAP.
