the Coronavirus Disease 2019
(COVID-19)

17. DOH VOLUNTEER
Outrage as Department of Health call for
Volunteers was criticized online as
Philippine nurses viewed the P500
allowance as an insult to their profession.
On top of that nurses and healthcare
workers are vulnerable in contracting the
disease as there is a shortage of PPE to help
protect themselves from the virus.
The Philippine Government is encouraging
Nurses to #VolunteerNOW and help fellow
frontliners in the fight against Covid 19

18. OFW NURSES
The Philippines is the largest exporter of nurses
in the world – out of the 2.2 million Overseas
Filipino Workers (OFWs), 25% commit their
lives to caring for others.
For the longest time Filipino nurses have been
under appreciated in the Philippines.
Nurses are considered skilled exports and
modern day heroes for the sacrifices they make
working abroad.
Now that this pandemic happened nurses are
being pressured by the government to stay and
work for Philippines.

23. NEW NORMAL A new normal will surely emerge, we
will be able to find ways to adapt and
restart the economy while having
precautionary measures to protect us
from contracting the disease. Terms
like Social Distancing, Work from
Home, Telemedicine etc. will become
a normal part of our life. As we are
seeing now a lot of transactions and
services that used to be provided face
to face are being migrated to
electronic and digital environments.
Until we develop a vaccine or immunity
to this Virus, we won’t be able to return
to the way things used to be.
However this “new normal” has paved
the way for new thinking and changes
that is good for the environment but bad
for the economy.
How can we find the balance between
these two now that we are given the
opportunity to create a new world, one
where planet earth and its inhabitants
will flourish.
