Spent many days of 2020 inside hospitals documenting the struggles of our health workers vs COVID-19. No story nor salute could give justice to their struggles, sacrifices & devotion to save lives. Let’s not overwhelm the system again.
A reminder of where we’ve been. And why we shouldn’t go back. Stay safe everyone. Wear masks. Stay home if you can. And distancia, amigo.
Sharing some PH journalism work from the earlier part of the pandemic as a reminder of what we have all been through and why we shouldn’t forget minimum health protocols. Washing our hands regularly and social distancing can go a long way. #thread
“Sometimes, we'd just start crying but then let's work again. Everyday we pray that this stops soon. We don’t know what to do anymore. Kasi parang palala na siya nang palala.”

“One mother called the ward at 11 p.m., TJ said, begging the doctors to let her speak on the phone to her teenage son, who was in isolation.”

“You spend all day and all night lying in bed in a room by yourself worrying about whether you will live or die. Sleep is a struggle.”
