Bong Go Says Pay the Frontliners: ₱1.4B Needed to Settle Pandemic Health Worker Allowances
Senator Bong Go has once again placed the spotlight on the nation’s forgotten heroes — the health workers who served through the terror and trauma of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sa plenary discussion ng 2026 DOH budget, Go stressed that ₱1.4 billion is the last remaining amount needed to fully settle unpaid Health Emergency Allowances (HEA).
The senator emphasized that the HEA is not a luxury, not even a token of appreciation —
it is a legal right under RA 11712 and a moral duty of the government.
While billions in questionable insertions move freely across agencies,
our own medical frontliners waited years for benefits that should have been released during their darkest battles.

For Bong Go, fulfilling this obligation is part of restoring trust, honoring service, and recognizing the suffering endured by medical personnel who faced overwhelming workloads, personal risk, and emotional strain.
At sinasabi nga sa Hebrews 6:10:
“God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you showed.”
Kung kayang mag-eruption ng bilyones para sa mga hindi alam kung saan napupunta,
paano pa kaya ang halagang dapat ibigay sa mga taong literal na nagligtas ng buhay?
