COTABATO CITY, Philippines — Medical workers here urged leaders in Sulu Friday to protect their co-workers in the troubled province following Thursday’s brutal murder of a senior staff of the provincial health office. Jolo is the provincial capital of the island province of Sulu, which has 18 towns. The victim was the human resource management officer of the Integrated Provincial Health Office in Sulu, a component-province of ARMM. “He was an administrative staff of the Integrated Provincial Health Office in Sulu, not a medical practitioner but was working for a health outfit so he was part of ARMM's medical service community just the same,” Sinolinding said. Mijares said the Sulu provincial police enlisted the help of traditional elders and barangay officials in Jolo town in identifying the killers of Wee.
