The hazmat suits emits the
positivity that we all need specially those who are working in the hospitals
taking care of COVID-19 patients who does not have the chance to see their loved
ones while they battle with the deadly disease.
This was the great idea of
Iloilo based nurse and designer when he took upon himself to get the idea from
the 90’s show in helping his fellow frontliners.
Mr. Adrian Pe a nurse in The
Medical City Iloilo, used his passion to come up with improvised personal protective
equipment (PPE) inspired by cartoon characters of Teletubbies and Power Rangers.

The cloths are of red, green,
yellow, purple, and other colors, Pe's fellow frontliners get to "live out
their childhood" by channeling their favorite characters.

Since then, his designs had
been viral doing the rounds in social media over the past weeks, frontliners
have don the hazmats in taking care of COVID-19 patients.
"I correlate it with our modern
day heroes, our frontliners," he told CNN Philippines' New Day.
"I chose the Teletubbies because
it gives frontliners not only the protection but the positive vibe, and Power
Rangers to inspire workers to live out their childhood superheroes," Pe
said.
Pe adds that he has been
approached by different groups and volunteers wanting to help out in the
production of the improvised gear. Along with his sewers and seamstresses, his
fellow nurses have also been helping out in finishing the suits themselves in
their hospital.
Pe noted that sewers usually
finish six to eight suits in a day. In the hospital, he and his colleagues can
finish four to five suits. Pictures showed health workers hand sewing the suits.

In a span of three weeks, Pe's team was
able to distribute more than 600 suits already.
In general, all frontliners and
nurses, they are risking their lives and also their families' lives as
well," said Pe.
"Some say they want to wear
[certain colors]. It makes me happy to see them wearing these," he added.
