The Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) on Wednesday announced the arrest of two Vietnamese nationals for allegedly practicing medicine without a license in Makati City.
CIDG Acting Director Brig. Gen. Rolindo Suguilon said the suspects, identified only as Nguyen (female) and Phuong (male), were caught conducting consultations and giving quotations for nose and body modification procedures at Doly Beauty Lounge in Bel-Air Village.
The suspects were charged for violating Republic Act 2382, or the Medical Act of 1959.
The CIDG warned that unlicensed medical practice poses a serious threat to public health.
Suguilon urged the public to report similar illegal activities and commended the CIDG Quezon City field unit for swift action.
“The CIDG remains committed to enforcing laws and fighting all illegal activities and criminalities nationwide,” he said.
