"As a community, we are great at telling stories about ourselves to each other, but not to everyone else," said RJ Aquino of Filipino B.C. "But does the rest of the world know how people are dealing with, still dealing with it, how they were impacted?" "If we go back to what happened to us three years ago, the healthcare system of the entire world crashed," said Bautista. "It's hard, it's difficult. And it's painstaking. We don't want that to happen again. And I think we are not ready for the next one."
But he and his fellow Filipino nurses soldiered on and continued to provide care, working long hours during the pandemic."Even until now many of our nurses, even myself, have the PTSD of that event," said Lumamba. "And the problem here as well is that nobody has supported us. No debriefing."
