MANILA – Health workers will continue to receive COVID-19 allowances even after the state of calamity is over, according to President Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr.
“Tuloy-tuloy ‘yan… ‘yong inaalala ko dati na hindi matutuloy ang compensation para sa ating health workers, ‘yong mga health worker, ‘yong allowance nila ay pinag-aralan namin nang mabuti kahit hindi itinutuloy ang state of calamity ay hindi maapektuhan ang pagbayad doon sa ating mga health worker ng kanilang mga benefit,” Marcos Jr. said in his meeting with health officials in Malacañang.
The pandemic situation in the country and the purchase of vaccines against COVID-19 were also discussed in the meeting.
“Pababa naman nang pababa ang ating cases, pababa nang pababa naman ang ating hospitalization, ‘yon ang binabantayan natin. So titingnan natin,” according to the chief executive.
“Hindi na kailangan kagaya ng 2021 na lagi tayong nagmamadali makakuha ng vaccine dahil pabawas na ‘yong risk, so dapat naman eh mag-adjust din tayo doon sa kung ano ba talaga ang scientific na assessment doon sa sitwasyon ng COVID,” the president emphasized.
