A recent research paper analyzed informal care’s impact on people’s mental well-being during the early and late stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe.1 The study delved into how informal care provided by family members or friends affected the mental health of individuals during the pandemic. The study recommends comprehensive support programs catering to caregivers’ unique needs. In the Philippines, informal caregiving is an essential task encompassing interdisciplinary concerns for the Filipino people. During the 2020 lockdown in the Philippines to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, many people were required to stay home. However, the Barangay health workers (BHWs) stepped up and became the frontline workers in the battle against the virus.2,3 They risked their health and safety to help others and keep the community safe. Their dedication and hard work show the strength and resilience of the Filipino people during these difficult times. Despite their invaluable contribution to the undervalued healthcare practice at the grassroots level, it is unfortunate that they still do not receive the genuine care and support they deserve. Although the Philippine government recognizes the value of BHWs, enhancing the quality of remuneration they receive is necessary beyond mere verbal appreciation.
