In a bold move, journalist-blogger Krizette Laureta Chu has publicly dismissed the advice of renowned infectious disease expert Dr. Edsel Salvana. Despite Salvana’s offer to assist Chu with her undisclosed respiratory illness, she adamantly declared she doesn’t require further medical guidance from him.

Chu, a staunch supporter of former President Rodrigo Duterte, seemed to imply that her loyalty to the Duterte camp grants her immunity from conventional medical wisdom. She took to social media to share a photo of various liquids and unconventional remedies she’s been consuming, opting for her own treatment regimen over professional advice.

While rumors swirl of a falling out between the two Duterte supporters, neither party is willing to acknowledge any rift. Chu’s defiant stance serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of dismissing expert advice in favor of unverified remedies, even in the face of serious health concerns.
