Healthcare workers conducted a rally in front of the Department of Health (DOH) in Rizal Ave. Sta. Cruz, Manila on Monday, February 14.
Along with the celebration of Valentine’s Day, the Alliance of Health Workers conducted a "Black Heart's Day Protest."
From Legarda, healthcare workers from both the private and public sector marched towards the DOH to again appeal for the resignation of Health Secretary Francisco Duque III as he failed to portray the role as the chief of the health department.
The group insisted that the government failed to think of the safety, protection, rights, and well-being of health workers that are continuing to combat the rise of the COVID-19 cases.
The health workers also are worried about the benefits they are going to receive because the provisions under Bayanihan Law 2 have been finished.
In two years, the steps taken by the government to end the rise of COVID-19 cases are still not enough resulting in the health workers feeling tired.
