I'll say it again, dont underestimate collective action in the pursuit of change. Dont underestimate community.  Its the little things that add up that will save lives. It takes a system to save a life.

10,000 health workers will be retrenched, ano ang ginagawa ng DOH?!

Imbes EMPLOYMENT after deployment, RETRENCHMENT ang ganti ng gobyerno sa mga"bayani" na health workers.

Saan pupulutin ang healthcare system natin?
Kawawa talaga ang mga Pilipino, pasyente man o health worker.

@AllieThromycin Preach doc!

A thread🧵

[Paolo Chavez @RPMChavezMD]

The notion that your voice only matters on matters of public interest - it's B.S.

Your voice matters, regardless. In your circles, for your loved ones, etc.

[Paolo Chavez @RPMChavezMD]

The realest, most relevant factzzzz that sums up PH healthcare, health system, marginalized patients, healthcare worker burnout, etc.

[Paolo Medina MD @LopaoMD]

As a Community Medicine practitioner, an MD whose specialization and discipline IS PUBLIC HEALTH, I BELIEVE that foremost among their qualifications, the next DOH secretary should be A PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTITIONER. Hindi siya kailangang Manggagamot/MD/Physician. #PublicHealthPH

@AllieThromycin Ingat doc!

I am not entitled to anything! Work work work. Get up off your ass, self.

[Paolo Chavez @RPMChavezMD]

Wow! 🇵🇭🔥 pero misleading po yung term na "instant". It discounts the YEARS of training and hard work to even have a chance. Dream deep homies

Privilege check please. Coming from a Barrio doctor too 🤦

@hazelannfaj hahahahahahahahahaahha

[Paolo Chavez @RPMChavezMD]

Get over social media, self-promotion, and trying to be relevant on such platforms. The world is made better by people you've never heard of, quietly dedicating their lives, to improve your own.

[Paolo Chavez @RPMChavezMD]

- out there where you'll never have a chance. That's how it begins. A light in the dark - just like her. So ask yourself what have you done, everyday, the last 6 years? Or was it just this election? If the latter - good start, but never enough.

[Paolo Chavez @RPMChavezMD]

You have to realize that the bubble of privilege is not your friend - it's merely convenient. The challenge is to care, beyond your comfort zone. Beyond clicking, liking, sharing, changing DP frames, wearing pink. Don't like the result? Get out there and make a difference -

[Paolo Chavez @RPMChavezMD]

You would know if you've been where the majority are. The Barrio taught me better. Welcome to reality. Cheers to realizing what it entails to serve your country - thankless, hopeless, but always worth it (at least for me).

[Paolo Chavez @RPMChavezMD]

Surprised? Welcome to developmental work. Welcome to the minority. It will always be hard. Some people spend a lifetime trying to make a difference - and never even see the fruits of their labor. What is one campaign period in comparison?
