"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." - > Mahatma Gandhi

Article 2 of the Republic Act No. 10069
states that "May 7 of every year is hereby declared as a special working holiday to be known as "Health Workers' Day" to give due recognition to the important role and contributions of the health workers who provide vital health services to our people and to promote their rights and welfare and enhance their sense of worth and dignity."

Since the beginning of COVID 19 pandemic, health care workers shown a remarkable resilience and dedication despite of fear of being infected and infecting others most especially to thier own families.

The first waive of Covid 19 left the health workers in those area that are hit hardly of the virus with long working hours and fatigue. The shortage of supplies and without a proper PPE was one of the problems that the healthcare workers encountered and put theirs selves in high risk.

Today, I will dedicate this blog to all the health workers in the world as we celebrate the Health Worker's Day here in the Philippines.

As one of those people working in the medical field, this pandemic is one of our struggle. Last year, I was one of the people who are forced to leave without pay because my company cannot compensate all of us due to lockdowns and no load of patients.

Some lost thier love ones while taking good care of other people. Some passed away due to the Corona Virus.

Some health workers are tired due to the load of patients but still, they continue to do thier job.

Some health workers in a small clinic lost their jobs because their company is down and bankrupt.

No matter how tired they got, they always look forward to the next day that they can save another life by giving service to them.

To all the health workers:
Thank you so much, thank you for all the efforts that you gave. Thank you for fighting for us even if our body is giving up. Thank you for risking your lives by saving someone else's life. Without you, the world will never surpass this pandemic. We might not there yet but I know we can get there together. 😊🇵🇭
