Six of the so-called “Morong 43″ health workers filed on Monday a P15-million damage suit against former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and several military officials for alleged “physical and psychological” torture committed against them while they were detained last year.
The Morong 43 health workers were detained for 10 months last year on suspicion that they were New People’s Army members.
The health workers filed the lawsuit against Arroyo, and nine other government and military officials before the Quezon City Hall of Justice at 11:00 a.m. on Monday.
The six complainants in the case were:
Dr. Merry Mia-Clamor;
Dr. Alexis Montes;
Gary Liberal;
Ma. Teresa Quinawayan;
Mercy Castro, and
Reynaldo Macabenta.
