MANILA, Philippines — The city of Pasig on Thursday regularized 40 nurses from government hospitals in honor of their contributions and sacrifices during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We regularized 40 hospital nurses today,” said Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto through his Twitter account.
“No incentive or benefit is enough to compensate for the sacrifices they have made during this pandemic. But we’ll continue to do our best and give them what we can,” he added.
