Pinoy Nurse Jonathan Aquino in UK Caught on Tape Assaulting Dementia Patient
A nurse secretly filmed attacking an elderly Alzheimer’s sufferer in her care home bed was jailed yesterday.
Jonathan Aquino, 30, was caught when Jane Worroll suspected her mother Maria, 80, was being mistreated and hid a camera in her bedroom.
In the harrowing images, Aquino is seen to suddenly strike the retired school canteen manager in the face before slapping her arms repeatedly.
The Filipino, who has an 18 month-old daughter, then finishes the attack by hitting Mrs Worroll in her abdomen four times.

‘It is distressing for anybody to have to watch what’s contained on the footage,’ he said at Blackfriars Crown Court, central London.
‘This poor woman had been transferred to this institution in the hope that she should receive proper care and attention.
‘Quite rightly, society in general is extremely concerned about the treatment of the elderly and vulnerable in institutions such as this.
‘They should be able to expect better, and I am afraid those who are caught misusing their responsibility should be held to account.’

this statement is somewhat a clean-hands-off the issue "not a member of the association".. although they are right in stating that this is not a localized event. things like this should serve as a public awareness because healthcare abuses can happen anywhere around the globe and it does not know any race or culture. I would salute the PNA-UK if they will express deep dissatisfaction and intolerance to incidents like this rather than washing their hands and saying " he is not a member of the association"– this statement is an utter bullshit!
Kuya PJ, hindi siya talaga member ng PNA-UK kasi hindi naman siya nurse sa UK eh… Caregiver siya. Jonathan Aquino is a qualified nurse in the Philippines, but not in the UK
Yes i do understand that but it is just like saying an apple is not an apple because it has fallen off a basket of apples. Get what i mean?
he needs repentance and enlightenment? he needs a f—ing good beating hes a horrible sick human being and dosent deserve to be on this earth!
Filipino doctors, nurses, carers, health caregivers, etc worldwide, we care and love you all for bringing a good name to our mother country- the Philippines. Preserve, continue and upheld your devotion and dedication to the service that you've been sworn in. You're but humans and subject to commit mistakes, but please think twice. GOD is ready at all times to help you solve problems. HE loves us all, so trust HIM. Don't ever repeat the wrong done by a misguided brother Jonathan Aquino who needs repentance and enlightenment. I know he'll tread God'/s way.
Lord, please help all of them do the right way all the time. Include my son and his family in London, my 2 grandchildren in the KSA and a niece also in the Middle East. Thank you.
JONATHAN AQUINO! HAYYYYOOOOOPPPPPP! BABALIK ANG KARMA SA ANAK MO! SA PAMILYA MO! GUSTO KITANG TORTURIN SA GALIT KO SAYO! ANG PANGIT MO PA NAMAN! WALA KANG AWA! SANA MABUGBOG DIN ANG NANAY MO AT TIGNAN NATEN KUNG ANO ANG MARAMDAMAN MONG HAYOOOPPP KA! MAGKASAKIT SANA ANG ANAK MO AT ASAWA MO AT IMALTREAT NG MGA BRITISH STAFF NG HOSPITAL! TIGNAN KO ANG GALING MO! MADEPORT KA SANA AT TIGNAN NATEN ANG GALING MO DITO SA PINAS!
upps…it's not that i agree with him, but …"forgive 70 times 70 times…" di ba? Maybe God has plans for him and us who are affected, which all of us are..:-(
…maybe much regrets na sya? so could be his most terrible turning point?
You are a disgrace to all the Filipino community and giving all the OFWs a bad name around the world. I think If Florence Nightingale was still alive she would probably cry her eyes out.
SAN KAYA NAG ARAL YANG JONATHAN AQUINO NA YAN… DI KAYA HATEGIVER ANG NATUTUNAN NYA SA SCHOOL NYA…
shamed on you…i wonder how did you beacame a nurse, you don't deserved it. disgraceful act…hostile nurse!
It is horribe when I read about that…I'm not sure if he really is a nurse
he is, its disturbing to watch it…it was in panorama and watch my link sa bbc news. nakakahiya ang ginawa nila, its not only to the nurses its to all of us filipinos here in uk.
Hayop kang jonathan aquino ka..paglabaas mo ng kulungan kukuyugin ka nming mga pilipino na andto sa uk hayup ka.
shame on him, that's the reason why Filipinos arent genuinely trusted. Bad apples like him put a scar on people's minds and think of the rest as the same! Hence, the reason why honest and good Filipinos who dont deserve the same kind of treatment result to changing their nationalities.
I'm a Filipino and seeing, knowing, hearing news about Filipinos like these.. puts me into a huge embarrassment and shame. NOT PROUD AT ALL!

While we are deeply saddened by this isolated and upsetting news.

This is also highlighted and manifested in the high number of Philippine trained nurses employed by various government and non-government healthcare service providers in the United Kingdom and other countries.
The Philippine Nurses Association of UK, as the official and recognized professional association of Filipino Nurses in the UK, would like to seek the general public’s forbearance and consideration in so far as quickly generalizing the same manner of nursing practice and behavior for the Filipino nurse at large. We are asking the public to refrain from making sweeping statements about any Filipino nurse or any Filipino for that matter. We believe that this is an isolated case and would like instead learn from it. Furthermore, we would like to ask that impartiality be given to any Filipino individual and any preconception on character, behavior or work ethics be suspended.
Finally, we would like to make it clear that Filipino nurses have been trained to the highest standards of nursing service and that members of the association are always reminded of and encouraged to practice the timeless values of excellence, honor and integrity in service. As highly esteemed members of the association, we will and will always be governed by our moral and professional integrity and values.

kawawa naman ang matanda, being a nurse and caring for the elders you should have enough patience. If you easily lost your temper better not apply this kind of job because one does wrong will affect many Filipino in applying job anywhere abroad.
