A senator said Tuesday that no one among the frontline health workers, who were severely infected or died of COVID-19, has availed of the financial compensation as provided by the Bayanihan to Heal as One Act.

Senate Finance Committee chairperson Sonny Angara said that this was because of the absence of implementing rules and regulations from the Department of Health.

“I’m very disappointed to hear the response from the DOH,” said Angara. “It’s quite upsetting... I mean so many months have gone without the DOH crafting the IRR.” For his part, Senator Richard Gordon said that an IRR is not needed to implement the said compensation.

Philippine health care system is a shame... there is not even a system...

I told you di mo ko masisilaw sa pera.. pangsilaw lang pala para mahikayat yung mga healthcare care workers.

But the President has full confidence of DOH led by Duque?

It should've been automatic. Gov should give them their due.

We treat heroes this way in the philippines

What a shame

Until it happens to one of them higher ups DOH people. Then there will be IRR real quick.

Nakurakot na ng gobyerno dutae 😤 kakapal ng mukha 🤮
