When Zyrene Boco’s father had a heart attack, over 30 hospitals with intensive care units – all overwhelmed with COVID-19 patients – couldn’t and wouldn’t take him in. Now, a daughter grieves alone for the father she lost.
“No one was accepting him so we were just waiting and waiting hanggang sa bumaba na po iyong blood pressure niya, hanggang sa ma-cardiac arrest na po siya. Pero wala po kaming nagawa. Sobrang sakit po.”
While they wait for their father’s test results, authorities advised them to keep physical distance from each other to control the spread of the virus in case he tested positive.

Zyrene can’t even hug her 12-year-old sister in grief.

Together at home but alone in mourning.
