NURSE ALYSSA: AN MPIC HERO FOR 2020

One of our Nurses, Ms. Alyssa Lungca, was recognized as one of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC) Heroes for 2020 last June 8 at the Board Room of the Executive Office of Asian Hospital.

Nurse Alyssa contracted COVID-19 last year and immediately after recovery, she reported for duty to care for patients admitted in the Intensive Care Unit. This honor given by MPIC reminds everyone, hierarchically speaking, that we must honor our workmates and praise them for their talents and contributions.

MPIC Heroes of 2020 embodies not just the core values of Asian Hospital but all of the traditional Filipino values that everyone was born into. Recognizing the deed and never, not the mistake of our peers will make this world a more peaceful and safe place to live in.

Everyone is reminded that the MPIC Heroes award humbles and encourages us to take action and help those who are need. Recognition of pure heart and kindness is what us human. Being humane hardly ever comes around these days, but being true to oneself will make one stand out and be recognized for the heroic act they have done.

Present in the event to recognize her were the following: Center: President and CEO Mr. Andres Licaros, Jr., Right most: Human Resources Director Ms. Aimee Jane Martinez, From Left: Nursing Services Director Ms. Carolina Buhain, MS and Neuro ICU Asst. Manager Ms. Keith Dela Cruz, Second from right: Intensive Care Unit Nurse Alyssa Marie Lungca.
