As the Philippines continue to experience an increases number of cases everyday due to the COVID - 19 pandemic. In March, netizens criticized the Department of Health (DOH) after it called for healthcare workers to join the battle against COVID-19 as volunteers, with a mere daily allowance of P500, instead of properly hiring them and providing them with tenure and benefits. These interventions should be extended to our healthcare frontliners, a higher salary, as they continue to fight against COVID - 19. In the local labor market, an entry level registered nurse receives a salary of P8,000 - P13,500 per month. Registered Nurses hired at Hospitals commonly receive an average salary of P9,757 per month. They have unsafe working condition and workplace. We can see the love and dedication of Filipino nurses in the country as they risk their lives to protect million of Filipinos. Besides the lack of personal protective equipment, our nurses are underpaid and do not get the respect they deserve from Filipinos. Putting a spotlight on the plight of Filipino nurses who had long been pleading for higher pay and better contract terms. Even before the COVID - 19 pandemic, health workers have already been experiencing shift fatigue but still results for low salaries. The current outbreak has magnified it further. May this petition serve as an eye opener for the Government officials and Filipinos to help our nurses to fight for the increase of salary.
