Keep on fighting: The admirable heroism of MVP Group’s frontliners

It’s been eight months since the quarantine began and the lives of people have drastically changed. While some have managed to ease into a new normal life at home, others are still out there risking their own lives to either save other people or make life much more comfortable for those who are staying at home.

In medical institutions under the MVP Group’s Metro Pacific Hospital Holdings, staff under the COVID-19 crisis teams run the risk of contracting the dreaded disease themselves. While the hospitals take every possible precaution to shield its healthcare workers from the virus—including the appropriate PPEs (personal protective equipment), stringent hospital safety measures, and meticulous airflow management—the frontliners still have a non-zero chance of infection.

Staff nurses Roselle Gale Arranz of the Manila Doctors Hospital and Glyza Cris Iguban of St. Elizabeth Hospital in General Santos City are among the many brave men and women in the medical field who have unfortunately contracted COVID-19 in the line of duty. Roselle shares her fears and frustrations when she found out about her COVID-positive status, "Naiyak ako, siyempre. Inisip ko: All this time, nag-aalaga ako ng may sakit, pero ngayong ako na ang may sakit, mag-isa lang ako.”

Despite this huge change, the MMFF 2020 will now focus on reaching to viewers via online streaming which is now the way movies of this year are released.

Dumagats cry foul over false accusations by Masungi Georeserve; seek help to uphold the rule of law

In a press conference held today, Tribal leaders of the Kaksaan Ne Dumaget De Antipolo, Inc., lambasted the officials of the Masungi Georeserve headed by Benjamin Dumaliang, President of the Blue Star Construction and Development Corp. and operator of Masungi, for accusing them as land grabbers, squatters and illegal loggers who caused the flood in Marikina recently.

“Masungi is lying. They are the ones, together with the military, who forcefully intruded into our property and fenced it off as part of the Masungi last October 2020. And if it were not for the help of Retired Gen. Luizo Ticman since the early 1990’s, we would have lost by force most of our ancestral homeland,” stressed tribal chieftain Ernesto Doroteo, a Bayaning Filipino Awardee in 2006.
