Yeng figured that it was about time she brushed her apprehension aside, and pay tribute to the front-liners putting their own health on the line to flatten the COVID-19 curve.
Last year, Yeng posted on YouTube a vlog documenting her and her husband’s “traumatic experience” at a hospital in Siargao Island. She lamented the health facility’s lack of equipment, and called out one of its doctors who supposedly didn’t see the urgency in attending to her injured husband.
“I really wanted to create a video. But the truth is that I feel embarrassed, because of the mistake I had committed last year,” she admitted. “I was at odds with my own feelings: I want to send a message, but I’m afraid that it wouldn’t be of any help.” “Nag-desisyon po ako na itapon ang hiya at humingi ng tawad sa lahat ng nasaktan ko sa medical field. Patawad po,” Yeng said. The new song, titled “Kumapit,” is a gentle piano ballad that hopes to give reassurance to weary front-liners that they’re not alone in this battle.
Upon much reflection and after seeing the hard work and dedication our front-liners put to their jobs day in and day out, the gravity of Yeng’s past actions have become clearer to her, now more than ever.“As we face this challenge, I see that the heart you put into helping others is invaluable. And you do it, despite your own fears, because this is your chosen profession,” she said. “I fully understand why many of you felt hurt [by what I did].
