MANILA - Medical professionals from far-flung provinces who will be asked to help in the capital region's coronavirus fight should remember their sworn duty, Malacañang said Friday, after some expressed concerns on the plan.
"Kami po ay mga doktor, kami po ay nagtatrabaho sa gobyerno. May mga sinumpaan po kaming tungkulin at isa po diyan itaguyod ang kalusugan ng ating bayan," Health Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said during a Palace press briefing. "Kapag ikaw po ay propesyunal, alam mo naman po ang gagawin mo bilang isang doctor, bilang isang medical professional. Ang trabaho po nila ay magsalba ng buhay at naniniwala naman po ako na magiging tapat sa sinumpaang katungkulan ang ating mga frontliners," he said.
Vergeire, however, assured them that the government would also find substitutes for them while they help contain the virus spread in the capital region."Hindi ho namin sila pababayaan, kung sakali na tayo ho ay magde-deploy tayo naman ay magkakaroon ng mga safety measures para hindi sila mahahawa at di rin sila makakapanghawa," Vergeire said.
