BHW PARTY-LIST APPEALS TO PRESIDENT DUTERTE FOR BARANGAY HEALTH WORKERS’ COVID-19 BENEFITS
President Rodrigo Duterte has been asked to include barangay health workers among the frontliners covered by the COVID-19 Special Risk Allowance in Republic Act 11460 or the Bayanihan To Heal As One Act.
BHW Party-list Rep. Angelica Natasha Co sent a letter dated March 27, 2020 to President Duterte containing her appeal.
Co also appealed for other compensation barangay health workers "who may contract severe COVID-19 infection while in the line of duty or who may die while fighting the COVID-19 pandemic."
She explained to the President that the BHW would not be covered by the RA 11460 compensation because the Magna Carta of Public Health Workers (RA 7305) does not include BHWs for the reason that there are volunteers.
