With the stress of attending to COVID-19 cases and patients, Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto has provided Pasig City Hall frontliners psycho-social therapy.
These frontliners have tirelessly worked amid the pandemic, and it may take a toll on one’s mental health. In a social media post, the mayor said, “Our frontliners are physically mentally & emotionally drained. They serve w no complaints.”
Our frontliners are physically mentally & emotionally drained. They serve w no complaints. Grabe ang dedikasyon nila.. yung iba pinipilit na naming magpahinga rin!
But we can't forget their wellbeing.

He also commends the frontliners’ dedication, saying that he even tells some of them to take a rest. “But we can’t forget their well-being,” he adds. The mayor also thanked the Philippine Red Cross for providing these psycho-social therapy sessions for the frontliners.
This is only one of the many initiatives of Mayor Vico Sotto during the COVID-19 pandemic. He previously has launched a ‘mobile palengke‘ in Pasig and has also provided free shuttle rides for health workers and frontliners.
