Children's letters of thanks expressing appreciation to frontliners who are saving lives amid the danger of being infected with Covid-19 virus has flooded the Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) Salamat Po nationwide letter writing advocacy program facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/SalamatPoLetterWriting/.

On their public Facebook page, a letter from a student, Allen Jon Lusabia of Governor Luis Ferrer Jr. East National High School thank the frontliners for their dedication and sacrifices in the battle against Covid-19.

He said, “you guys are doing commendable job to help in the recovery at a great risk to safeguard the whole world from this deadly disease”.

A Letter from Ms. Daniela Katrina Pauline D. Purisima, a 3rd place winner of the recently concluded National On the Spot Letter Writing Competition said, “Perhaps you were made for this moment, to walk through blazing fire and come forth as gold.” As a kid, it is a common misconception that people are only considered as heroes if they have superpowers”.

PHLPost has thought of bringing back the passion of letter writing among the students in collaboration with the Department of Education (DepEd) hoping to reach wider cluster of public and private schools to effectively promote and develop young students’ skills in composition.

“While staying at home, through a simple letter of thanks can warm the hearts, uplift the morale of our frontliners, appreciate their good deeds and develop their writing skills continuously”, Postmaster General Joel Otarra said.

.“Basically, we (PHLPost) feel that the theme “Salamat Po” (Thank you) is appropriate in today’s generation especially among the Filipino youth to inculcate the virtue of gratitude through the art of letter writing”, he added.

“When our frontliners and modern day heroes are not busy and when things have slowed down, we hope they will find these letters and know that their kindness and sacrifices have been appreciated,” said Ms. Bea Gervacio, national coordinator for Salamat Po (Thank you) national letter writing advocacy program.

Save the Children seeks child protection measures as parents, guardians end up positive for COVID-19

Wazzup Pilipinas!

As mass testing for COVID-19 began in key cities this week, Save the Children Philippines is calling on local officials to put in place protective measures for children who may face discrimination and stigma when parents or guardians test positive.

Atty. Alberto Muyot, Chief Executive Officer of Save the Children Philippines, said a person’s health status, whether real or perceived, should not be a basis for discrimination and mistreatment.

Cases of stigmatization of COVID-19 positive patients, their families, and health workers have been reported prior to mass testing for COVID-19. These include a health worker who was splashed with bleach on his face by five people on his way home in Sultan Kudarat, South of Manila; nurses in IloIlo City in the Visayas who were being evicted from their rented homes, and a health worker was prevented from leaving his house has been barricaded by the subdivision and barangay officials after a first COVID-19 patient was reported in the city.

Atty. Muyot urged local governments to implement concrete and targeted measures to make sure individuals who tested positive for COVID-19 have access to proper health care support, and their children do not suffer from neglect and abandonment.

Local governments should also ensure that children who might be separated from parents or caregivers who are isolated or hospitalized because of COVID-19 or those who might be orphaned will continue to be cared for by trusted adults. It is preferable for these children to be placed in the care of their closest relatives, but in case this may not be immediately possible, alternative care must be provided.

“The COVID-19 pandemic poses major risks to children and their families such as disruption of routine immunization, antenatal care services, therapy sessions for children with disabilities, and other necessary health interventions,” said Atty. Muyot, adding that “the health crisis may also lead children to risks of neglect, abandonment, violence, and exploitation through a loss of or separation from primary caregivers.”

He said that the discrimination and stigma within the communities against people who are tested COVID-19 positive need to be addressed by the government through a sustained public information campaign to provide accurate information on COVID-19 and practical steps to protect themselves from getting infected. This can also be addressed by ensuring that there are safe and confidential mechanisms for people to seek support if they suspect that they might be infected.

“Stigma drives people to hide their illness to avoid discrimination, and prevent them from seeking prompt health care,” said Atty. Muyot.

He said community guidelines must also integrate the specific needs of children with disabilities when their parents, guardians are tested positive for COVID-19.

“We call on local leaders to provide child-friendly, gender, and disability sensitive information to help children know how they can protect themselves from getting infected by COVID-19, be protected from abuse and exploitation, and where to report and seek help,” said Atty. Muyot.
