Sigurado nang tataas ang suweldo ng mga “entry-level” nurses na nagtatrabaho sa gobyerno matapos ilabas ng Department of Budget and Management (DBM) ang kumpirmasyon sa pondong inilaan para sa mga ito.

Ayon kay Senador Panfilo Lacson na nagsulong sa Senado para maisama ang pondo sa 2020 national budget, ang dagdag suweldo para sa government nurses ay magsisilbing dagdag-pamadyak ng mga ito ngayong panahon ng pandemya sa COVID-19.

“Definitely, no amount is enough to show our appreciation for the sacrifices and hard work of our nurses, especially those in the front lines. Still, this pay increase – which was sought even before the COVID pandemic hit – will be of help to them in one way or another,” pahayag ni Lacson.

After years of waiting, government nurses – many of whom are now in the front lines against COVID-19 – are finally in line for a much-needed wage increase, after the Department of Budget and Management appropriated the funds for it.

Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson, who pushed for funding for the pay hike via an amendment to the P4.1-trillion 2020 budget, said this should provide much-needed support especially for the frontliners fighting the COVID threat.

“Definitely, no amount is enough to show our appreciation for the sacrifices and hard work of our nurses, especially those in the front lines. Still, this pay increase – which was sought even before the COVID pandemic hit – will be of help to them in one way or another,” Lacson said.

“As all of us are now dealing with the ‘new normal’ due to the pandemic, the pay increase should hopefully make a difference for them,” he added.
