Foreign Photojournalist Who Was Hit By Ramos’ Saliva Contracted Rare Skin Disease
The photojournalist employed by Associated Press who had her face covered with saliva described the ordeal as the most disgusting experience of her life.
British photojournalist Melinda Ferguson came to the Philippines to cover the Dengvaxia scandal and never thought she would experience worse than dengue.
During the Edsa anniversary on Sunday, Ferguson was covering the the rally when former president Fidel Ramos spewed his venom hitting Ferguson’s face that nearly knocked her down. Several hours later, the pitiful photojournalist found herself in the outpatient department of the Philippine General Hospital wandering what to do because doctors could not identify the virus that contracted her beautiful face.
Ferguson complains of severe itching minutes after Ramos’ saliva hit her face.
Two other local reporters from GMA and TV5 who was hit when Ramos emits saliva was brought to other hospital after complaining the same itchy experience.
Ramos was reportedly angry because he was the only notable person who attended the rally.
When asked if Ferguson is willing to file charges against the former President, she said her health is more important now than any other things.
The PGH is requesting Ramos to submit a specimen of his saliva to the hospital for examination.
It was reported earlier that 2 of Ramos' house helpers was contracted with the same skin disease before after the former president spat unto them.
“Gawain nya po talaga ang mang dura lalo na pag meron siyang hindi nagustuhan. Yong kasamo po namin hanggang ngayon nagtitiis pa rin dahil madami na pong gamot ang nasubukan pero hindi pa po gumagaling. Kaya nga po pag nag sasalita si sir (Ramos) lagi po kaming nasa malayo”, Loida, one of Ramos house helpers said.
