Mayor Vico Sotto to health workers: 'Please apply in Pasig'

The Pasig City government is looking for additional health care workers for their centralized quarantine facility, Mayor Vico Sotto announced Monday.

In a Facebook Live, Sotto said while there were still vacant buildings and beds for COVID-19 cases in their facility, the city lacks medical workers.

With this, Sotto appealed to health workers to apply in the city. He said non-Pasig residents are also welcome.

“Kailangan natin ng karagdagang health care workers so kung ikaw po ay isang health care worker, nananawagan po ako… maaaring naghahanap ka ng trabaho, maaaring gusto mong tumulong... please apply,” he said.

“May suweldo po ‘yan. Actually, mas malaki nga ‘yong suweldo ng mga contract of service natin kumpara doon sa regular... Sa ngayon, kumukuha na tayo kahit hindi taga-Pasig… Sa ngayon, hindi na tayo choosy,” Sotto added.

He also called on medical technologists to apply as the city’s molecular laboratory will be opening soon.

“Nurses kailangan din natin kahit underboard, puwede po ‘yon... Mga doktor, intern, kailangan po natin, mga specialist, lahat po puwede mag-apply. Isi-screen naman po ‘yan ng city health department," he added.

Sotto said interested health care workers may submit their applications to pasigcovidtf@gmail.com.  —LBG, GMA News
