THE Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) has imposed a six‑month suspension on the medical license of Lorraine Marie Badoy, former spokesperson for the government’s anti‑insurgency task force.
The decision came after the Professional Regulatory Board of Medicine found her liable for violations of the Revised Code of Ethics of the Medical Profession, marking a significant disciplinary action against the physician.
In a resolution dated May 8, 2026, the Board formally ordered the suspension of Badoy’s certificate of registration. Under the ruling, she is prohibited from engaging in any form of medical practice during the entire six‑month period. The order covers all professional activities related to her medical license, effectively restricting her ability to practice her profession while the penalty is in effect.
Although the decision was finalized earlier this year, it was only released to the public on June 27. The delayed disclosure allows stakeholders and the general public to be informed of the outcome of the administrative case filed against Badoy. The resolution serves as an official record of the Board’s findings and the corresponding penalty imposed to uphold professional standards and ethical conduct in the medical field.
The PRC emphasized that the ruling underscores the importance of adhering to the ethical guidelines governing the medical profession, regardless of one’s public role or affiliations. The suspension is intended to reinforce accountability and remind practitioners that their license comes with the responsibility to observe proper conduct at all times. Badoy will be required to comply fully with the order before she can resume her practice once the penalty period ends.
