00:00 Not only did the training and experience go to waste,

00:04 the two government agencies also violated the agreement

00:07 to remove more than 80,000 barangay health workers from the country.

00:12 The reason for that is because they are not allies in politics.

00:17 This is what Maki Polido pointed out.

00:19 Chodora Covarrubias served her barangay colleagues

00:26 as barangay health workers in Quezon province.

00:30 Even if it rains, if it snows, if it's sunny,

00:34 even if we are sick, we are still treated.

00:37 We are still serving.

00:39 But when her barangay chairman was defeated,

00:42 she was no longer appointed as the BHW.

00:45 Who do we want? Human rights.

00:48 We are not in favor of the PAN.

00:52 More than 80,000 barangay health workers were not reappointed

00:57 after the barangay and SK elections

00:59 because of politics, according to the BHW party list.

01:03 Because of that, they will not receive an allowance or honorarium

01:07 according to the president of barangay health workers in Calabarzon.

01:10 Even if a health worker is accredited by the local health board,

01:14 if there is no appointment of barangay, there will be no allowance.

01:17 It becomes personal because you are not a comrade of the captain,

01:21 you are not a comrade of the captain.

01:23 But this was violated in the joint memorandum circular

01:26 between the DOH and the ILG, according to the BHW party list.

01:31 It states that those who do not reappoint should go through the due process

01:35 and there is a penalty, such as not looking for a job or illegal activities.

01:39 The training and experience of the removed health workers

01:43 who also followed the national health program in the community

01:46 In far-flung areas where there are no doctors, nurses, not even a midwife,

01:53 what will happen to the barangay if there are no experienced barangay health workers?

01:58 The BHW party has been having a long-standing problem with the reappointment policy.

02:02 So, in the prepared magna carta for BHWs,

02:05 the barangay chairmen will receive a penalty

02:08 that the BHW will remove because they are not allies in politics.
