Administrative Order 2010-0034imposes a blanket licensing requirement for those who want to be massage therapists, whether blind or sighted.
The intentions may be good, but advocates call it a violation of the law and protest its implications for thousands who are blind and without adequate livelihood opportunities, and who look to massage therapy as their source of income.
To secure a license, one should first enroll in a DOH-accredited training center. That training would of course cost them money. Applicants must also undergo a two-part examination, a theoretical test and then, should they pass this, a practical test.
Signed by former Health Secretary Enrique Ona in December 2010, the order aims to “improve the quality of health service delivery of governing massage facilities providing massage services.”
Maraguinot said this set-up creates problems particularly for the marginalized blind people who may not be in a position to apply for a license.
“In Mindanao, tuition alone costs P8,500 or more,” he said, adding that a massage therapist is lucky to have an income of P3,500 a month.
