Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, June 6) — Authorities raided an illegal Chinese clinic operating in Parañaque City wherein unknown Chinese medicines and supplies were seized.
The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) conducted the raid at Diamond Bay Tower in Brgy. Baclaran on Saturday morning. Illegal activity was discovered after a confidential report was made.
Investigation done by the City Health Office and Business Permit and Licensing Office revealed that the clinic has no business permit.
About 237 packs of unknown Chinese medicines and supplies were confiscated, and believed to be used to treat COVID-19.
Owners and operators of the said establishment are still being verified by the authorities.
“Similar illegal operating clinics must be immediately reported to the authorities. In line with this, we encourage the public to coordinate with the nearest police station for any information that they may give with an assurance that their identity will be highly confidential,” NCRPO chief Maj Gen Debold Sinas said.
