JUST IN: Clarita Avila, Chief Administrative Officer of the National Center for Mental Health, has been reassigned to the Drug Abuse Treatment and Rehabilitation Center in Las Piñas. | via @maan_macapagal

Avila has been very vocal of the situation in NCMH about the lack of PPEs. She also reported the number of patients who have died & personnel who are considered PUIs & under quarantine. She was issued a gag order to stop talking and releasing statements to the media.

Avila: He was prohibiting me to talk to the media about the real situation inside NCMH with regard to the infection rate of #COVID19 among our psychiatric patients and employees. | via @maan_macapagal

Avila said she is still reporting at NCMH and considering a legal move. “My lawyer is handling the case as I know the order is unjustified, whimsical and a violation of my rights under the Civil Service Law.” | via @maan_macapagal
