MANILA, Philippines — The appointment of Dr. Teodoro Herbosa as secretary of the Department of Health (DOH) has drawn both approval and disapproval. In separate statements, the DOH, including former officer in charge Maria Rosario Vergeire, and the Philippine College of Physicians (PCP) backed Herbosa, while the Alliance of Health Workers opposed the appointment. 'It's very good … looking forward to his dedication to serve people and at the same time his experience in public health, as a medical expert and at the same time having been appointed before as undersecretary of the DOH makes him fit to be the secretary of health,' the PCP president, Rontgene Solante, said in an interview over ABS-CBN's 'TeleRadyo.
