“The local government unit of Gerona in Tarlac and the DSWD in Central Luzon have arranged a psychosocial intervention yesterday (Dec. 22) for the minors,” DSWD spokesperson Irene Dumlao told the Philippine News Agency in a Viber message.
Lorizza Mae Posadas-Gacott, registered guidance counselor and an officer of Philippine Mental Health Association Inc. (PMHAI) Palawan Chapter, said that self-diagnosis without guidance of a psychologist or counselor may lead to misinterpretation of data or result.
