Myrtle also shared that her auntie serves a frontliner, too.
“The other day my Tita who works as a frontliner just told us that she hasn't been feeling well and we're really worried about her,” she related.
Myrtle likewise encouraged the public to pray for everyone's safety.
“And I know each of us has a family, a friend or a relative who is working hard right now to save the world. Let'a pray for them and show them our love,” she added.
DOT's “We Heal As One” was was composed by national artist for music Ryan Cayabyab, written by award-winning writer Floy Quintos, and dedicated to our frontliners against COVID-19.
