The Office of the Ombudsman received complaints against Laguna Governor Sol Aragones and five others, who rejected the allegations as “political harassment,” according to a Tuesday report by RH 5 Val Gonzales.
The complaints against Aragones, several provincial officials, and private individuals concerned alleged graft and grave abuse of authority in connection with the Department of Health’s (DOH) issuance of a Notice of Violation of Cease and Desist Order on September 7, 2026.
The notice followed the discovery from an inspection conducted on September 4 that the chemotherapist center established by the Laguna local government held no valid license to operate.
On Tuesday afternoon, Governor Aragones refuted the allegation, calling it obvious political harassment in a statement on her official social media page.
“Sa ngayon ay wala pa po kaming natatanggap na kopya ng reklamo. Pero dahil halos pare-pareho ang complainant sa sunod-sunod na reklamo, halatang political harassment po ito,” she wrote.
“Ginawa na nila akong project na araw-araw hinahanapan ng butas. Sa tamang panahon ay sasagutin po namin ito,” she added.
Among the complainants include Calamba City Councilor Christian Niño Lajara, former Laguna Medical Center (LMC) Supervising Officer Jonel Osio, and Laguna board members Karla Adajar-Lajara and Lorenzo Zuniga Jr.
Aragones said some of the aforementioned personalities were the very same who filed the previous complaints against her.
Meanwhile, the complainants asserted that Aragones and her co-accused should have ascertained that the chemotherapy center possessed a license, offered complete services, and established clear accountability, as its patients’ trust and lives were at stake.
