MANILA – ABS-CBN DocuCentral is putting the spotlight on COVID-19 frontliners in the Philippines in an upcoming documentary to air this weekend.

Titled "Heroes in the Hot Zone," the episode will feature the impact of the global pandemic in the lives of Filipinos as told by three Filipino doctors who are at the forefront of this battle.

It will give viewers a look inside the war zone -- from the triage tent where COVID-19 tests are conducted, to the bustles in the emergency room, and the chilling wards where patients have to endure their battle against the disease in isolation.

Furthermore, the documentary will show the story of a doctor who succumbed to the respiratory disease after logging in long work shifts and sacrificing time with family.

It will likewise feature the road to recovery of another doctor after getting infected by the coronavirus.

Hosted by journalist Raphael Bosano, “Heroes in the Hot Zone” will be shown on April 26 at 9 p.m. on ABS-CBN and on iWant.

As of writing, the Philippines confirmed 6,599 cases of COVID-19, including 654 patients who recovered and 437 fatalities.

Currently, the entire Luzon is under an enhanced community quarantine that will last up to April 30. President Rodrigo Duterte is set to decide Thursday on a possible modified lockdown.

Health authorities, meanwhile, said it is "too early" to tell if the Philippines has flattened the curve of new COVID-19 infections.
