"Kalmang-kalma siya, kasi naka-bag pa, naka-relax na para bang hindi siya natataranta, eh kung makikita mo nga, may mga taong natataranta sa paligid noon," said Jacinto.

Shortly after, the nurse said she had to leave for work and bid farewell.

Jacinto praised Loraine for her commitment to taking care of others.

"Hindi po nagkamali yung profession na pinili niyo po. Hindi siya namili o nagdalawang isip, (selfless) love yung ginawa niya sa pagtulong," he said.

Jacinto, who's a medical technician, called on the public not to discriminate against health workers for working in hospitals with COVID-19 patients.
