Sen. Francis Tolentino said that the doctor should be held criminally liable for leaving Salilig for dead. He suggested that the NBI also seek the assistance of the Professional Regulation Commission in identifying and tracking him down. READ:
“Are you looking for this doctor who declined to offer medical assistance when he saw dying?” Tolentino asked the NBI agents at the hearing. “Every doctor has sworn an oath to render medical assistance to a person in need. Are you investigating this doctor? What’s his name and where is he now? It’s just sad that a doctor refused to help [Salilig].”
“Apparently, Tan cannot identify who that doctor was. We are trying to pursue other information to identify him,” Martinez told the senator. He added that Lee was among 11 other suspects who were still at large.Tolentino, who presided over the hearing as chair of the Senate justice and human rights committee, said that the doctor should be held criminally liable for leaving Salilig for dead.
Salilig’s father, Jeoffrey, who also attended the hearing, said that he knew that his 24-year-old son was already missing when he failed to contact him after the victim attended the fraternity’s welcoming rites. The naked and battered body of Salilig was found in a shallow grave in Imus, Cavite province, on Feb. 28—10 days after he went missing while attending the fraternity’s initiation rites. An autopsy report showed that he died due to “severe blunt force trauma to the lower extremities.”Salilig was laid to rest in Zamboanga City on March 4.
