Filipino Nurses United (FNU) secretary general, Jocelyn Santos-Andamo, says that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. did not address the serious problems of healthcare workers in his latest state of the nation address (SONA). Marcos mentioned helping unlicensed nurses acquire licenses while ignoring the almost 30,000 who are licensed and who had just passed this year's board exam. There was no mention of mass hiring or addressing the 'livable wage' for nurses.
