Robin Padilla says Filipino nurses free to work abroad: Napakabigat sa puso pero masisisi ba natin sila?

Senatorial aspirant Robin Padilla is saddened by the exodus of Filipino nurses for better jobs abroad but could not blame them for doing so.

Padilla wrote on Facebook that while it is heartbreaking to see local nurses leave the country, they have the right to seek employment abroad so they can take care better of their families.

Nurses are probably leaving the country since they feel left behind and don’t see a good future at home, he remarked.

“Napakabigat sa puso pero Tayo ay nasa malayang lipunan Masisi ba natin ang ating mga nurses kung hindi nila makita ang pag asa at pag unlad nila dito sa ating bansa?” Padilla said.

“Anong silbi ng kanilang pagseserbisyo at pagmamalasakit kung sila ay naiiwan sa pag asenso at walang kasiguraduhan ang kinabukasan. May mga pangarap din ang mga nurses sa buhay at sa pamilya nila,” he said.

Padilla said the country’s dirty politics, especially politikos engaged in bickering while many people still live in poverty, might have fueled the nurses’ decision to work abroad.

“Habang nakikita at napapanood nila ang mga pulitikong nagbabatohan ng Mga Baho ngunit matagal na ring nagpapakasasa sa kayamanan at bulsa ng inangbayan na dapat ay naipapamahagi sa kanilang ating mga bayani,” he said.

“Patriotism and public service are politicized and created, hopelessness will reign in the hearts of heroes,” he said.

Many health workers have reportedly quit their jobs to look for employment abroad after feeling unappreciated by the government. The Duterte government earlier had drawn flak over the exodus of nurses and other health workers due to delayed distribution of benefits due them during the pandemic.
