A gathering of health laborers took to web-based media to air their complaints and dissent the manner in which the public authority has been taking care of the COVID19 pandemic. The Alliance of Health Workers (AHW) shared on photographs of medical care laborers holding indications of what should be done in the pandemic, for example, the quick arrival of their Special Risk Allowance, suppers, transportation, and convenience stipend under Bayanihan to Recover As One Law, and long-past due advantages of Performance-Based Bonus from 2018 to 2020.

The dissent harmonized with the festival of Araw ng Kagitingan or Day of Valor Friday, April 9. In view of this, Benjamin Santos, AHW Secretary General, said they composed a letter on April 6 to DOH Secretary Francisco Duque III emphasizing their interest to deliver their retained advantages.

The Large numbers of their associates passed on in the battle against COVID-19 without getting those advantages. Those advantages are now supported what’s more, it’s simply something little contrasted with the penances of health laborers to address and battle this pandemic. This administration is numb and coldhearted with regards to our wellbeing, insurance, and government assistance.
