IT'S tough working at the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine (RITM) in Alabang, Muntinlupa City.

RITM medical staff members are now being discriminated against by a paranoid, and largely misinformed, public ever since they started handling the country's SARS cases.

According to RITM administrative officer Rodolfo Villarico, residents of Camella Subdivision and Pleasant Village, which are located near the government hospital, are asking its healthcare workers not to enter their areas.

Villarico said the request was coursed through a letter sent to the RITM last Monday.

The subdivisions' streets are sometimes used as a shortcut by RITM staff.
