Opposition senator
Risa Hontiveros cannot hide her infuriation with the reports that Chinese
workers have supposedly obtained the results of their COVID-19 test faster that
the modern heroes of the country- the overseas foreign workers (OFWs) stuck in
quarantine areas.
The lady senator said Filipinos in any instance should never be “second
class citizens” in the country, as she denounced the alleged “VIP treatment”
given to some Chinese nationals
“4 days lang nakuha agad ng mga Chinese workers
sa Fontana ang COVID-19 results nila; habang marami sa mga OFWs natin ay
mahigit isang buwan naka-quarantine dahil wala pa ang sa kanila,” she said in her
Facebook post.

“Hindi tama ito. Hindi tayo 2nd-class citizens
sa sarili nating bansa,” she said.
She is urging the
concerned government agencies to remedy the bottlenecks in the handling and
management of testing and quarantine procedures for the OFWs so they can go home to
their families.

Hontiveros said no VIP
treatment should be rolled out to the detriment of what the country considers
the modern heroes of the Philippines.
“I call on OWWA, PCG, & DOH: ayusin natin
ang bottlenecks nang mapabilis ang pagpapauwi ng mga OFWs. Siguraduhin nating
walang nakakalusot na VIP treatment,” she said.
“This is not how we welcome OFWs back home.
Let’s address these backlogs so that we can send them back to their loved
ones,” she said.
