In his quest for being pro-poor, BBM called for his friend and ally, President Rody Duterte, to help him fight for the rights of the poor. BBM is aware that most poor patients in the country who seek immediate medical help at private hospitals are either turned away or assisted unsatifactorily. A lot of complaints had been made public in social media, newspapers or in television regarding patients not admitted quick enough to be given immediate and proper care by doctors and nurses due to the hospital policy wherein if the patient do not pay a certain amount for a deposit, they will have to be set aside. Some of these patients die of neglect. Some of them get other complications. Marcos has been really firm on his stand to help the poor in anyway he can. Despite his loss, his heart is still for the poor and those who need him. Way to go, BBM! Let's hope his plea will be heard by his friend, the President himself, nonetheless. After all, if change is coming, it should be an over-all change of the who faulty and anti-poor system, right?
