Napoles sent back to jail, medical condition 'not alarming' - PNP

MANILA, Philippines -The medical condition of businesswoman Janet Napoles, the alleged brains behind the P10-billion pork barrel scam, is  found to be "not alarming" after her check up at the Philippine National Police headquarters in Camp Crame, Quezon City.

"Hindi alarming at this point of time. Walang problema," Chief Superintendent Alejandro Advincula of the PNP Health Service said Napoles told reporters on Wednesday.

Advincula said Napoles will not be confined at the PNP General Hospital after the medical examinations done on her.

"Hindi po sya iko-confine. As a matter of fact,  ibabalik na sya sa kanyan lugar sa (Region) 4-A (detention facility)," he added.

After the examination, Napoles was immediately escorted back by policemen to Fort Sto. Domingo in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

Advincula said that the medical procedures had been delayed as physicians at the PNP General Hospital waited for Napoles' attending physician and lawyers.

"More than two hours tumagal dahil inintay pa ang attending physician at attorney nya," he said.

Aside from the blood tests and transvaginal ultrasound procedure, Advincula said Napoles also underwent a papsmear examination as requested by her lawyers.

Doctors also recommended tooth extraction as Napoles complained of toothache, he said. 

"The results this afternoon makukuha  pero di obligadong mag bigay as of this time because of the patient-doctor confidentiality clause...Bahala na po si Mrs. Napoles na magbigay ng details," he added.

Advincula said the results of the ECG (electrocardiograph) done on Napoles are normal after she complained of chest pains.

He said the ovarian cyst was detected by doctors October last year.
