Kahit mga kasamahan niya sa gabinete at sa IATF nagulat sa pahayag ni Health Sec. Francisco Duque na kasalakuyan ng dinaranas na ng Pilipinas ang second wave ng COVID-19. Ang Malacanang, iginigiit na nasa first wave pa rin ng pagkalat ng sakit sa ating bansa. Ni hindi nga raw 'yan nakarating kay Pangulong Duterte na ibinalita ni Duque tungkol sa second wave na 'yan. Paano nga raw masasabi kung anong wave na tayo kung mismong palasyo ay sinasabing hindi pa naisasama sa bilang ng mga COVID-19 case ang nasa 7,000 backlog sa testing.

At least 25 Filipino health care workers have now died with Covid-19, despite making up less than 2% of the NHS workforce. Subscribe here: https://goo.gl/31Q53F

Newsnight has learned that the Filipino Nurses UK Association has written to the Chief Nursing Officer, Ruth May, asking for urgent action after figures emerged suggesting around one in 5 of NHS and health care workers who have died are from The Philippines.

This is despite Filipino workers making up less than 2% of the NHs workforce.

Francis Fernando of the Filipino Nurses UK Association, told Newsnight he thinks “Filipino workers are being taken advantage of” and they are afraid that they’ll be reprimanded if they speak out.

Emerging evidence suggests that Covid-19 is having a disproportionate effect on Black Asian and minority ethnic communities in Britain.

Yesterday the NHS announced a risk assessment process for BAME health workers and new guidance was issued, but campaigners believe more urgency is needed.

Why are filipino deaths so high, and what is it like for those working on the front line?
