The Health Department announces additional benefits for health professionals who would volunteer to serve at COVID-19 referral hospitals a day after apologizing for only giving them a ₱500 daily allowance

The Health Department unveiled additional benefits for health professionals who would volunteer to serve at COVID-19 referral hospitals a day after apologizing for only giving them a ₱500 daily allowance.

The Health Department said the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation will shoulder the medical expenses of volunteer health professionals if they contract the disease. Health professionals would also still be given their daily allowance even when they go on quarantine for two weeks after a two-week duty at hospitals, the Health Department said.

'ADDITIONAL BENEFITS' not increase in pay How important are the frontliners for the gov't? Di man lang umabot sa mimimum wage. You ungrateful bitches!

Before re-drafting compensations and benefits it will be wise to filter first our volunteers based on pre-existing medical conditions and age. Remember that there are risk factors which will make them just as vulnerable as the patients they will attend to.

Bawasan muna kaya pansamantala sahod nung mga nasa itaas, ipamahagi sa mga nasa baba. Ano, dare DOHgovph ?

“KakArEkLaMo nEYo wALuH keYo aMbaG!” Whaddup DDS

So magkano ibabayad sa kanila? DOHgovph YOU SHOULD HIRE THEM AND GIVE THEM THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PAY! These benefits are not enough. Kailangan pa magkasakit/mamatay para lang makakuha ng malaking pera ampota! No wonder doctors and nurses would rather work abroad.

Too late for these! Damage has been done! 😡

Perks? There's got to be a better word for additional compensation for exhausting work that comes with life-threatening risks.

Health facilities told to ask for COVID-19 patients' consent to publicize namesCabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles said the public disclosure of the patients’ identities will help the government track those who have made contact with the patient. May ibang bansa na nilalagay ang names ng mga positive sa tv or sa news . Pra pag nakita ng mga tao n that person is positive at they have made contact atleast they are aware . Bakit di na lng kse gumawa software tracker for positive or PUM not necessarily identifying their actual names to the public. Like in South Korea. Lets take advantage of our cellphone technology ppl. Malinaw na wala talagang malinaw na latag at plano gobyernong ito. Ano pala silbi ng bagong talagang COVID head na militar na inupo kung putak pa rin Nograles ng ideas ? Fall guy siya basta the price is right sa position ?
