Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, July 25) — A day before his last State of the Nation Address, President Rodrigo Duterte was given another "failing mark," this time by healthcare workers whose calls for fair compensation and release of unpaid pandemic-related benefits persist.
Some medical workers from both private and public hospitals on Sunday said they have hardly felt the billions of pesos allocated for frontliners under the Bayanihan 1 and 2. For one, despite the significant budget, they said they have yet to receive their special risk allowance, or SRA.
"Pinapaikot-ikot lang kami," said Jao Clumia, president of the St. Luke's Medical Center Employees Association - Quezon City. "'Yung benepisyo umano ng mga health workers ay naipamigay na nila. Hindi po 'yun totoo."
