Dear Mr. Duterte:

We are writing to formally request a review of the current salary of the medical frontliners of the Philippines. Due to the continuous and uninterrupted increase of COVID-19 cases in the Philippines, medical workers are needed more than ever. 

Currently, the average monthly income of medical practitioners working 10-12 hours are:

  •  Php8, 000-Php13, 500 for entry-level registered nurses;
  • Php9, 757 for fully registered nurses;
  • Php13, 500 for government nurses, and; 
  • Php18, 000 for those working in private sectors. 

Although it has substantially increased by around Php1, 500, from the Salary Standardization Law that your administration created, it is still not enough to cover their expenses, especially for those who have to feed a family. From their daily fair alone, their salary is already reduced by a staggering amount. With the increasing lack of labor in a low-paying and high-risk job, the morale of medical practitioners is decreasing over time. Even those planning to enter the medical field are hesitating after seeing the treatment that healthcare workers receive.

Thus, we would like to request an amendment for the Magna Carta for Public Health Workers (Republic Act No. 7350), instating a salary hike for workers under this law. It would be a good incentive for medical practitioners and for those planning to enter this profession.

Thank you for your time, and we hope to hear from you soon.

Respectfully,

Albert Fish
