Opisyal na Pahayag ng Philippine Association of Medical Technologist (PAMET) kaugnay ng insidenteng naganap Sa Pamahalaang Panglungsod Ng Pasay noong Mayo 19, 2020

May 25, 2020


Ang pangyayaring ito ay labis na ikinalulungkot ng pamunuan ng Philippine Association of Medical Technologists (PAMET) at ng lahat ng mga Medical Technologists sa buong Pilipinas at maging mga nasa ibang bansa. Ngayong tayo ay nasa gitna ng ganitong krisis ay higit na kailangan natin ng serbisyo ng mga Medical Technologists at iba pang mga healthcare professionals. Napakahalaga ng kanilang bahagi sa laban natin kontra COVID-19. SIla ay nagsasakripisyo at kaagapay ng gobyearno sa pagsugpo ng kumakalat na sakit. Marami sa kanila ay dinapuan na din ng COVID-19 sa kagustuhang maglingkod sa kapwa. Ganun pa man, patuloy silang tumutugon sa tawag ng tungkulin.

Ito ay isang maliwanag na tahasang pagtapak sa dignidad at pagpapakita ng kawalang respeto sa ating mga Medical Technologist at iba pang health professionals.

Ang PAMET ay kaisa ng lahat ng Medical Technologist, frontliners at health professionals sa pagtutol at pangkondena na sa ganitong uri ng pang iinsulto, pangmamaltrato, panghihiya at pakawala ng respeto lalo na kung ito ay nanggagaling sa isang halal na opisyal ng gobyerno.

Higit itong nakapanglulumo dahil ang Lungsod ng Pasay ay napasa kalian lamang ng ordinansa Bilang 6100, Series of 2020, upang tugunan ang anumang uri ng diskriminasyon at magparusa sa mga lalabag dito. Ito ay pirmado ng buong konseho ng lungsold kasama na si Konsehan Arnel ‘Moti’ Arceo. Magbukas sana ito sa isipan ng lahat ng nagpapatupad ng anumang uri ng batas na sila ang unang dapat sumunod dito.

Ngayong panahon ng krisis ay walang puwang ang ganitong mga pangyayari lalo na at pinipilit nating itaas ang morale ng mga frontliners upang lalong nilang makita na pinapahalagahan ang kanilang mga sakripisyo. Ang ating mga Medical Technologists ay patuloy na naglilingkod para sa kapwa at para sa bayan.

Ang ating mga inihalal na mga opisyal ay tinitingala nating bilang ehemplo ng maayos na pakikitungo sa kapwa at tamang pagtrato sa mga tao kahit ito ay isang ordinaryong empleyado o propesyonal. Ano mang uri ng trabaho o propesyon nabibilang ang kahit sino man, sila ay dapat bigyan ng pantay na pagtingin at nararapat na respeto.

Bilang isang halal na opisyal ng lungsod ng Pasay, inaasahan po nating ang mas malawak na pananaw sa sitwasyon, mas mahinahong pakikipagusap at mas makataong pagrato sa mga naglilingkod sa kapwa at sa bayan.

Tandaan natin na anuman ang lumabas sa bibig ng isang tao, ito ay pagpapakita ng ating tunay na karakter at pagkatao. Isang mahalang marka ng pagiging mahusay at epektibong lider ay ang pagtugon sa krisis at problema na hindi mangingibabaw ang emosyon at kaya niyang panatilihin ang pagiging kalmado at bukas ang isipan.

Kung may pagkukulang man sa proseso, ‘protocol’, komonikasyon o kung anumang posisyon merong ang isang tao, ito ay hindi nagbibigay ng karapatan sa kahit sino na sigawan, marahin at insultuhin ang ating kapwa lalo na kung ang mga ito ay tahimik na ginagawa ang kanilang tungkulin at sumunod sa mga naibigay na direktiba o panuntunan.

Huwag nating pabayaang tuluyang sumuko ang mga healthcare workers hindi dahil sa COVID-19 kundi dahil sa pagbaba ng kanilang morale dala ng mga ganitong pangyayari.

Nananawagan tayo sa mga opisyal ng gobyerno at sa lahat ng Pilipino na ibigay ang ating pagsaludo sa mga health workers sa paraang parangal at hindi sa paraang magaspang. Ibigay natin ang karapat dapat na dignidad bilang patunay sa ating paghanga sa kanilang kabayanihan at kontribusyon sa bansa.

Taimtim na ipinagdarasal ng PAMET na sana ito ay magbukas sa mata at isipang ng lahat ng naglilingkod sa bayan at hindi na muling maulit ang ganitong pangyayari.

We Medical Technologists do not deserve this kind of inhumane treatment. Nobody deserves it.

Petsa: May 25, 2020
