'She was treated below what she deserves.' This nurse died of COVID19 without seeing her hazard pay, which turned out to be P150 a day

“Expectation versus reality” is usually the stuff of funny memes and lighthearted tweets. But when applied to matters of life and death—the questionable management of a pandemic for example—it’s definitely no laughing matter. about her mother Tess, who passed away from COVID-19 last month. Tess has been a healthcare worker for around a decade, a nurse at Cainta Municipal Hospital before she died.

“A few months before my mom passed away, she's been telling me about how long she and her co-nurses had been waiting for their COVID hazard pay,” Cruz shares in her post, adding that her mom intended to use the added amount for her younger sister Maxene and her Groiler Home Learning Materials. Tess and her co-workers expected around PHP 30,000 based on the announced by the Department of Health . Sadly, Tess passed away even before she saw a single cent of that extra pay.

Tess Cruz worked as a nurse at Cainta Municipal Hospital. She has been a healthcare worker for over a decade. But when Joie went to the hospital to process documents and claim benefits, she was told that the amount was actually just PHP 7,000 plus. “Apparently, the COVID hazard pay of the nurses in their public hospital has been reduced to just PHP 150 per day and on top of it were deductions that were not even properly explained by the hospital administration,” reads Joie’s explanation in the post. “In the end, it appears my mom was only given a freaking PHP 64.

That amount must feel especially painful as many already found the PHP 500 baseline, that expectation bar, insulting to begin with. There has been

Fake news mayor Kieth nieto clarify the issue

Mali na na naman news nyo. Pinabulaanan na ito ng mayor. Call him, take his side.

what on earth..... so sad

💔💔💔

Ngayon lang ba yang isyu ng sahod at benepisyo ng mga nars? Oh c'mon, naive or na-ABS...everybody sing: TALAGA NAMAN Nagpipol pawer na sa EDSA Umulan na ng kudeta Iba na ang korte ng pera TANGA ka pa

lq_azalea Di na nakakapanibago dito sa pinas💔

Matuto na po tayo mga kababayan. Wala na po tayong ilulubog pa kasi sagad na tayo sa ilalim. Bumoto tayo ng tama at hindi base sa popularidad. Madali mabawi ng politiko ang perang ipinuhunan nila. Kahit galing sa pawis at dugo natin kaya nila nakawin.

💔

MikeJCastr0 Mababa na nga yun P500/day hazpay during covid..

😔

Lord GOD,Have Mercy on the soul of this nurse who died because of Covidvirus.

Nakakalungkot,nakakaiyak,madami pa napupunta sa bulsa nila kaysa sa mga deserving na tao,tulad ng mga frontliners

Sorry for the family..

😭😭😭

Fakenews

Green_Tripper Nakakalungkot pero ang gobyerno panay kurakot

Oldest tale I know. Frustrating that some do not acknowledge the fact that being a public health worker entitles us to receive HP. As if HP is too much privilege for health workers (speaking fr past experience). Gusto ko sabihin ngayon 'O ANO NGAYON NANIWALA KA NA? '

Sa ibang bansa hinahangaan at dinadakila ang mga Pinoy nurses. Sa sarili nilang bansa kinakawawa sila. Daig pa sila ng mga kasambahay sa laki ng sweldo at benefits. Libre pa pagkain at tirahan.

Im a supporter of the admin before sa ibang projects pero this is too much , the medical field personnel almost dies studying endless nights justt so they can be “standardized” and get paid the little amount of salary? Give us a little more value , esp doctors and nurses - a Ptrp

Kawawang mga bata at magulang, kayo ang bahalang matuto

Sad naman.

Hindi priority ang health system dito kaya marami umaasenso na healthworkers sa ibang bansa, nakakagalit! Tas philhealth naghehearing na ba? Wala na silbi tv nmin eh

That hazard pay ay naibibigay lang pag tinutukan ng media.

So heartbreaking 😢

marcolme 💔💔💔

:(((

calabiamjc

Paanong d ka mkaka iisip iwan ang pilipinas sa ganyang pag trato sa mga nurses/health workers?

This is so sad.

Tapos yung mga walang kwentang nasa katungkulan, bilyon-bilyon kung mangurakot!!!!

Police / military / teachers and some govt employee been increase sa salary . Nurse -

GilAlec nakakagigil ang sistema. if i had a chance, i probably would have chosen a different country

ryaaannee ✨A✨C✨A✨B✨

Rest In Peace to my fellow health worker. Thank you for your sacrifices. Condolences to the family. And to all the LIES & DECEIT that the frontliners get, my heart bleeds for you. May all those responsible people receive whatever karma has in store for them!

Parang ang sakit isipin na sa talagang 150/day na hazard pay mamamatay ka naman. Kung yung nga Lang mahawa e struggle na. Kawawa naman ang pamilya. Yung sufferings nila walang katumbas na talaga.

Ganun naman talaga sa Pinas. Hindi nila pinapahalagahan ang mga nurses. Sad reality!

😭💔💔💔

Ezkicks21 Yung hazard pay nya kula pa pang pa test sa covid.

So sad.😔 May she rest in peace.

Really sad about this...

4+ years of study, hospital duties, board exam... = overwork, underpaid... God bless you sister...our hero...

May her soul rest in eternal peace.

Seriously how the fuck are the hcws not mass resigning at this point cause holy shit this is cruel

Blame the 16 million voters who elected him in the office👹👹👹👹

150 a day! Minamaliit pa ni villar mga nurses. Kakapal ng muka ng mga nasa gobyerno natin.

Hala? 150 pesos per day? Grabe naman yan

GRABE! HEALTH WORKER AT 150.00 PESOS A DAY(BUHIS BUHAY!) SAMANTALA SI BOYING,RODANTE,MIKE & THE COWARD 70 HAVE A 'PORK BARREL' EACH OF 160 MILLION PESOS/YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BY 12 MONTHS IS EQUIVALENT TO 13 MILLION PESOS +PER MONTH! SORRY! 'WHAT ARE WE IN POWER FOR'.

Sana sonnyangara Kung tatakbo ka po President bigyan halaga mo po ang nga health care which is for Doctor, Nurses, Rescuers from PDRRMO, CDRRMO, MDRRMO, & BFP. salamat po.

RIP.

Masaya siguro abscbn kasi nakapaglabas na naman sila ng balita na magdudulot ng galit sa mga tao

Nakakagalit ang inutil na gobyernong to.

Sobrang nakakalungkot, at sobrang nakakagalit kung ikumpara sa sweldo nina Mocha, Morales, at etcetera.

Ambaba. Mapapamura ka na lang talaga. Thank you ha

Nakakalungkot dyan todo support pa rin ang mga dds, ewan ko ba sila ang bagong salot sa Pinas kung tulong tulong sana para mapatalsik si duturtle edi sana maayos na uli Pinas

Those blessed with less on earth shall be blessed more in heaven. Condolence to the family.

Ang purpose nga ng govt is maraming mamatay. Bakit nila bibigyan ng priority ang health issues? Pansin nyo galit sa mga healthcare providers Sina Cynthia at Pduts.

🕯️🕊️

Yun mga nagpapaka hirap sila pa napapahamak, yun mga walang ginagawa sa gobyerno kundi mangurakot,manakot,at puro pangako na wala naman maipatupad na maayos na sistema,sila pa yun nagpapa pasasa sa kaban ng bayan. Just my opinion...

Alagaan natin ang mga frontliners. Hindi mangyayari to kung hindi nagpabaya ang gobyerno. ChinaVirus

everyone is treated below what we deserve. - entitled.

Hays 😔

No wonder walang gusto magvolunteer. Risking their lives for this amount? They deserve more than this.

'what she RIGHTFULLY deserves'

At least namatay siyang marangal. Yung respeto ng tao sa buhay niya ay nandun kulang man siya sa pera. Hindi tulad ng mga magnanakaw sa gobyerno na pinapakain ang pamilya ng galing sa nakaw. Pwe, mayaman kayo sa pera pero yung respeto ng tao walang wala hanggan sa apo niyo.

hazard pay is no tax free..my sister who works at san lazaro only get 130/day hazard pay and she works 12/day.. nakakapanlumo sila tignan sa totoo lang..

Politics impeach Duterte

Nakakalungkot for the nurse at nakakainis for the govt

WTF...then look at the Philhealth scandal....tsktsktsk...

Bakit walang DDS sa tweet na to?

This crazier-than-a-pissed-loon network is sensationalizing the issue at the expense of the dead. Wtf!

Rest in power

Dont be trick by what the govt have said regarding that php 500/day... The reason why its very low is that there is still tax on it... Even in our institution, many have been disappointed knowing the REALITY of THAT PROMISED HAZARD BY GOVERNMENT.

JI N

ribsrep Shes a nurse so there is a high risk tlga na magpositive xia di nio dapat iblame sa govenment kundi sa mga pasaway na tulad mamamayan eh ginagawa nmn ng government makakaya nila eh hirap kc sa atin lagi n lng tayo nghahanap ng masisisi

ribsrep Ngpapauto nnmn kayo sa abs cbn to put down government

Nakakaiyak sa galit! Nasaan ang malasakit?

wala kasing kumikilos! lahat ng tao sa gobyerno natutulog!

Grabe na talaga ang govt na to

This is sad, lalo na sa mga health workers naten they been risking thier lives para masugpo ang COVID tapos ganun lang 😓 , they dont deserve to be treated like that. Ganito naba katoxic sa pilipinas ?

Tengene. Filipinos especially the thieves, robbers and the corrupt in this admin aren't worth dying for. Kayo ang pumatay sa kanya. Sana kayo na lng ang inuna. 😡

ribsrep Fake news nnmn

Ang baba nong P150/day na hazard pay ah tapos si pa natanggap

Below 3 freaking dollar a day to finish dead... What's wrong in this world?

Eto dapat ang priority ng gobyerno iampinglacson sotto_tito hindi ang ATL. Ang gobyerno ang pinakamalaking swindler sa bansa.

Nurses sacrifice their lives only to get paid with a very little amount of money in their own land. Not worth it. Better for them to serve another country.

ung mga corrupt lng ang nakinabang ng walang pagod at hirap yan ba magandang gobyerno sinasabi nila.....DOH mismo kurakot di manlang matulingan mga health worker

Naubos budget para sa SAP pero di naman pamimigay ng pera solution sa problema. Ayusin nila contact tracing at mass testing, ibigay ang dapt sa frontliners, dapt jan naka allocate ung budget. Nakaka disappoint talaga. Umayos ung gobyerno naman sana. Ewan!!

tapos sasabihan kame ng mga DDS: trabaho nyo yan eh!! Shutangina saan kayo kumukuha ng kapal ng mukha!

nasaan ang hustisya?

This is not about the money but the recognition and respect these warriors deserve. This breaks my heart.

nice 🙃🙃🙃

:(

mas tinataasan ang sweldo ng militar dahil don nakasandal ang nasa palasyo. hayyyy sinama man lang sana sa budget ung pagtaas ng hazard pay ng mga health workers.. dahil sila ang malaki ang sakrispisyo sa panahong ito. 🥺

Our medical frontliners are overworked but underpaid. Where is the justice in that? They are even accused of being communists and terrorists. While majority of us are staying home some are endlessly roaming around without purpose. 🤔

This is outright treachery. Mapapailing ka na lang talaga sa disappointment. Hayst!!!

Alisin na ang, 'Ang mamatay ng dahil sa iyo' sa Lupang Hinirang. This isn't a dignified death.

Hay ka awa-awang mga nurses at doctors natin , nakaka iyak na ganito itrato sila ng gobyerno.

R.I.P 💔

Tapos ang Panggulo isang beses lang sa isang linggo nagpapakita.

May she rest in eternal peace.

Hay...kung sino p ung mga tunay n ngsisilbi sa bayan silang napapabayaan. Pero ung mga pulis (except dun sa natitirang matitino p din nmn) alagang alaga ng gobyerno pero sa iilan lng nmn ngsisilbi.

My prayers go out to all nurses. ❤️ If there’s a USRN here, we are offering BPO work with a LOT of benefits and high compensation (plus signing bonus of 100k for the first batch). DM is key. While we don’t want to take you away from serving the Filipinos, this is an alternative.

💔💔💔

sobrang pag-apak sa karapatan ng mga health workers. :(

😭😭😭 why this is happening?

pnu ba magiging accountable ang mga nsa gobyerno? wla nman ngyayari sa mga senate/house hearings. wla rin nman ngyayari sa mga pa-trending sa twitter. anung mas epektibong paraan? WhyIBlockedYou COVID19

💔💔💔

Kulang na Kulang na nga sahod niluko pa sa hazard pay. Tang inang government. Scammer tong Philippine government. Number one scammer yung inutile na leader.

'Binigay na ng gobyerno lahat sa HCWs...'

Grabe tas sasabihin ng iba dyan na maliit yung sahod nila. Our nurses deserves better!

Transfer to Davao?

wtf do better DOH....

kaawa awa talaga.
