10069 was passed declaring May 7th of every year as the “Health Workers Day”, as recognition to thousands of Filipino healthcare workers that serve as the backbone of the country's health system. These mere recognitions place our healthcare workers in the pedestal and regarded as our modern-day heroes. For our healthcare workers braving the deadly pandemic as they perform their duty to the country, they deserve better than commemorative recognition. Our pandemic heroes should be protected and justly compensated. The government, particularly the DOH should take immediate action and give what is due to our healthcare heroes.
