One of the nurses I know who works for a private hospital sent me this... a copy of their payslip for 15 days.

CLICK FOR A SURPRISE

Imagine 200 pesos for one month of direct contact with COVID-19 patients. That’s roughly 7 pesos daily. Won’t even afford a jeepney ride.

Stop romanticizing the struggles of frontliners. Stop glorifying their heroic act with mere words and promises.

PAY ATTENTION TO THESE HUMANS BY PAYING THEM WITH RIGHTFUL WAGES AND BENEFITS!

Kung tutuusin mas malaki pa sahod ng mga trolls kesa sa mga nurses, medtechs, pharmacists, and other healthcare workers.

Pucha ano ambag ng mga trolls na yan sa bansa? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙃" title="Upside-down face" aria-label="Emoji: Upside-down face">

To those who pointed out that “It’s only part of the payslip you haven’t seen the whole.”

Yeah you guys are right. But the point of the tweet is that the supposed “additional” pay due to added hazards is that small. A lot even replied they don’t have any.

Also, come on guys, healthcare workers here in the Philippines have always been underpaid since time immemorial. So kahit ipakita ng mga nurses buong payslips nila, anong sense?

Deliberately hid the other parts for my friend’s privacy as well.

Good morning! Trolls are now attacking me. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy" aria-label="Emoji: Face with tears of joy"> Let me clarify...

1. No, I did not make all these up. I’m not as low as you guys.
2. No, be mad if I block you. That’s how low I think you are. Don’t be proud. You didn’t win. I did.
3. No, I won’t feed you today. Never.
