Filipino Nurses: New York's Frontliners | 101 East

- An estimated 150,000 Filipino nurses work in the US, earning up to 30 times more than they could back home.
But at what cost?
Many nurses work long hours, some juggling multiple jobs to support their families. Others are exploited, intimidated and forced into indentured labour.
Now Filipino nurses are on the front lines of New York's COVID-19 crisis, some losing their lives as they battle to keep Americans alive. Meanwhile, the Philippines is facing a dire shortage of medical workers at this critical time.
101 East investigates the price of chasing the American Dream.

3 years ago I had open heart surgery. 8 days in ICU and was well taken care by the Filipina nurses. I really appreciated their professionalism and their caring nature which made my stay tolerable.
In Singapore, after SARS, the Filipino nurses were given resident status. Their services were clearly appreciated be the Singapore Government.
lol my country men got treated better in Singapore than in their home country! 🤣👍
Were they not given Citizenship if they wanted too? just resident status?
I worked with Filipinos in medicine in the US (SF Bay Area) for 24 years. Awesome people and the most caring loyal nurses. I admired them so much that this year I moved here. I now live in Cebu, the Philippines. Not everyone is perfect, but I’m am surrounded by awesome people daily now. 🇺🇸🇵🇭
Awesome! I hope you enjoy Cebu!
that's where I came from.
Wow..stay safe out there in cebu
I Miss Cebu....
There is wonderful place in Talisay.
It's Girls Town Sisters Marry School.
You may experience the miracles in real there. Stay happily at Cebu.
I guess every hospital in the US has Filipino Nurse except in Grey's Anatomy.😂
🤣🤣🤣True!
I have to agree..
Not every hospital
grey's anatomy SUCKS!!!
😂😂😂😂..SO TRUE
We love our Filipino nurses here in Australia! All my children were delivered by Filipina mid-wives, what you get is extra care.
@Crystalised Being point taken, I'm just speaking from experience. In regards to your experience I can't say I disagree as it is not fair...
Salute from Taiwan
I also love NYC very much.
Filipino house nurseries and friends give numerous attributes the construction in Taiwan.
Sincere Appreciations to Filipino friends.
🇹🇼🇵🇭
Thank you Taiwan our friendly neighbor.
Hope that i can comeback to taiwan after this pandemic 🙂
Taiwan is my1 dream country ❤️
Thank you Republic of Taiwan. Keep safe everyone!
Long live Taiwan and its sovereignty! 🇵🇭❤️🇹🇼
Filipinos are wonderful...one of the most friendly people...cheers amd respect from India....
Thank you🥰🥰🥰
We love Indian people too. Greetings from the Philippines.
Immortal redeemer thank you 🙏 😘
Some Indian are also studying nursing in the Philippines. Best of Luck
Indians are smart people.
Extremely PROUD of them all.
Mabuhay
Most Americans don't want that job. That's why the opportunities are presented to the willing, the Filipinos. You should be greatful that they are the best in what they do. Compassionate and industrious professionals.
There are a shitload of jobs that americans doesn't want to do, so I can't understand why the yanks can't provide work visas to sikhs, africans, hispanics and latinos.
@@sanyonazyin6063 Filipinos is enough
@@zeparthe16thspiritofarsgoe15 Okey I really hope that the filipinos can work the vinyards in Napa, the Citrus fields in the Coachella Valley and the Dairy farms.
@@sanyonazyin6063 I have Filipino employees (the Marjory of them) taking care of my cattle farm and they don't let me down. I think they can do any work if they willing of course they need training but once get used to it they are the most loyal and hardworking people you will ever had. And yeah they can farm like everybody
@@zeparthe16thspiritofarsgoe15 So can mexicans and africans. And I think it's unfair that the u.s simply refuse to put everyone in the same light.
and still no Filipinos in Grey's Anatomy
We should boycott Greys Anatomy. Discrimination against the real caregiving Nurses of America.
Lol that's fine. Filipinos don't have time for drama.
@@ftilustrado True😂, we have bigger fish to fry.
Wig Mezo-Gadia 💯💯💯
😅😅😅
We have many Filipino nurses in Singapore, they are very caring and friendly ppl. If I'm nervous, they make me feel at ease. Some patients are difficult, but they stayed professional.
One of the hospital that heads their COVID19 frontline is a Filipina doctor! Keep safe our CO-ASEANs! We'll all beat COVID19! We'll all survive this!
"ppl" gamer spoted XD
No the one in nyc
Thank you Filipino medical frontliners - doctors, nurses, ambulance crew, technicians, hospital kitchen staff, all...THANK YOU! God bless you all!
Filipino nurses are really hard working and they do their job with devotion. I am Pakistani but I have many Filipino friends and I saw this first hand. Filipino nurses should be assertive. They are very polite and don't question authorities. Which results in abuse sometimes. Hats off for Filipino nurses.
Give Filipinos and other medical staff a bonus..
Filipinos are the “green berets” of nursing. The best.
@Ryan M You DO NOT KNOW what she meant... search green beret.
@Ryan M you're an idiot.
Swivel //
Alayna 😂😂😂😂😂📲☎️📀💿📲⌨️💻🔋📡⏳⌛️🕰
@Ryan M You are a fool! And I agree that they are the Green Berets of nursing. I can say that as I was a Green Beret for 12 yrs- I was an 18D.
This made me cry. Mabuhay tayong mga nurse!
😝Mabuhey!
Stop crying Honie. How are you doing?
Unsung heroes! Filipino Nurses! Better benefits they deserved!❤️🙏
Shoutout to the Filipina Nurse who take good care of me when I was hospitalized at Elmhurst, Sharon and Nancy.they are the best Filipino nurse ever!! Hats off to all the Health Frontliners. Godbless you guys!
Proud to be a filipino. Much love from state of Alaska
They're shouting "Black Lives Matter" but they don't acknowledge enough the Filipino nurses who are saving their country, fighting the invisible enemy. Filipino nurses are truly heroes
Filipinos aren't considered black even though americans also called them the N-word when they colonized the Philippines. :(
Ive heard this all over the world. Cause they dont complain they just keep on working. And this can be prone to lack of appreciation and abuse
@@SpiderMan-ni8ek because literally filipino was native Blacks.. today are mixed
Mary Emma so true👍🏻🇵🇭
No race has gone through humiliation than black race...just shut up
Filipino nurses are the best!! They work hard, they don't complain , they're friendly and they appreciate even the smallest of blessings. And sad to say, because they never complain, sometimes they're taken advantage of at work.
May the peace of Allah be with you always. Allah is their strength.
Thanks Aljazeera for putting this together. I came here over 30 years ago with a bunch of my nursing classmates Omicron class 87 . But I am lucky that I work in the cleanest unit , the operating room of a very big university hospital in the West Coast. Anyway,
I Got out of my contract as soon as I can along with a few of my nursing classmates while some stayed in NY and NJ and were in the frontline over there.Some got infected but thank goodness no one died.I am proud of my classmates for what they have done and are doing there during this pandemic
.Our Dean ,Madam Sisno would be proud.
I do feel sad and upset for the other Filipino nurses who being taking advantage of . This should not happen.
So you graduated in CDC??? I am an alumna too :)
May the peace of Allah be with you always. Allah is your strength.
I appreciate londoners in Uk because they expressed thier appreciation for the hard working, caring, loving,friendly , compassionate, committed Filipino nurses . The frontliners in this current covid nineteen pandemic are unspoken heroes and many of thèm lost thier lives in saving others lives.
Somehow the filipinos made a contribution and hopefully those racist will realize
Racist happens every where in the world.... There are various factors that influence racist actions...... It's in all humans...
Yes, those racist are soooo lazy.
I never heard of any Filipino discrimination.
@@Kanal7Indonesia common and at avery high rate in america.
@@Kanal7Indonesia because they endure and rarely complains. you will only find out if other people caught it on cam or if there are witnesses.
Filipinos just love to give extra to their work. wether to be a nurse, seafarers, or any line of work. they just love to give extra effort to their work. you will get more for what you have paid for.
So True!
Yup!!!!well said 👍
God bless them ❤️ from Indonesia
Great job AJ. You've gone where no other News channel would even think going. This is a long overdue tribute to the hardest working women on earth. Filipinas are tremendously brave and infinitely giving and caring !!!
As a Marine veteran I use the V.A. Hospital in Calif. most of the veterans are cared for by these loving and caring nurses. They go beyond what are expected of them. As a retired Marine that has had most of my nurses that are Filipino nurses I could never ask for any nurse more caring and professional .
May the peace of Allah be with you always.
filipino nurses nurse their patients with love and care.
Gemma was my night nurse during my kidney stone crisis in Elmhurst Hospital. She was the most caring , most devoted to the patients , most human nurse who attended me during the 5 days care. You saved me hours of suffering in pains. Thank you! God bless you ,and your parents who raised you a wonderful person!
Thank you so much! Its always rewarding to care for patients and see them recover.
I am proud to be a Filipino nurse🇵🇭
Salamat sa sakripisyo at paglilingkod 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
@@bhobg Thank you po.
Isang pagpupugay para sa inyong pagpupunyagi!
Nurse-midwife ang aking kapatid. Dito na niya sa Pilipinas piniling maglingkod. Nagtayo kami ng aming sariling birthing clinic para may malapit nang healthcare facility para sa aming mga kapwa na nakatira dito sa kanayunan!
Thank you for your service. 👏👏👏
THANK YOU for what you do... 🌼🌺🌸🌻
It’s so sad, watching it with a tearful eyes😢God bless all the Nurses that takes care of people🙏
lynda only Dr get kudos
Lechiffresix six everyone that helped to take care of these patients should be blessed🙏
Saludo kami sa inyo mga kababayan naming frontliners! We'll keep praying on you every day for your safety out there!
Most Filipinos are not assertive, we don't usually aspire for higher positions because it's just huge responsibility to look after other colleagues and stress. We just want to work and we give our heart into that.
Haha for the increase pay with the added stress it sure isnt. I remember that at an old job. A dollar more for more responsibility no thanks. Which also decreased as minimum wage went up so it became like 50 cents more.
Smart!
May the peace of Allah be with you always. Allah is your strength.
Hey 🌹❤️
2 of my sister in laws are frontliners in USA, I am proud of them..
Thank you to all the Filipino nurses around the world. From UAE to the US to the UK...everywhere. To the empathy they display, to the hospitality that they exhibit, to their kindness and good nature. Sad that their good nature causes them to be taken advantage of. Being away from their families to take care of people of other nationalities- doing jobs many people wouldn't want to do. Thank you so much. Some of us understand the struggles they are going through especially to be so far away from home. It makes me so angry that certain companies take advantage of them. I hope those of us in power do what we can to support these heroes.
Keep the applause, pay them properly. As with all essential workers. Nurses, aides, grocery workers, ag workers, warehouse workers, etc.
While reading your comment, I'm reminded of the late Mr. George Westinghouse.
Thank you🥰🥰🥰
So it’s all about the money?
@@donchristiangonzales4675 Not _all_ about the money, but it does matter; it's about being compensated for the job they do. A fair day's wage for a fair day's work.
That is the truth.
Imagine pulling out all nurses out of hospital in other countries, healthcare system will crumble.dibs
Hello beautiful how are you doing
God Bless them ..they are educated professionals who are paid lower..
Indonesia healthcare worker which working outside
Di Indonesia ada gak ya yg kayak Filipina?
Here in Doha hospital,filipino nurses when they do the injection you can"t hardly feel it and they are beautiful and always smiling kudos to our Filipino nurses all over the world god blessed you 🙏 Fr.Doha,Qatar 🇶🇦 🇵🇭
Kamusta please be safe always and always remember that this is going to pass soon and pray that everything comes back to normal God bless you very much mahal kita
Filipinos are known as the HARD WORKERS , their quality of work is SUPERB ! They work BEYOND their job scope.
I Love Filipinos , more power !
♡ from Europe
My highest respect & admiration to fellow Pilipino nurses around the world... Thank U...
Always remember that during this historical Covid 19 pandemic, a bunch of heroes rise to the occasion and fight head on! Frontliners!!! Filipino Nurses courage, resilience and determination!
Mabuhay po kayo! We are proud! Very proud! 😍
Thank you Al Jazeera for telling this story. I cried like a baby. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
We stayed at UCLA for almost a month and we're lucky enough to have Filipino nurses to look after us. They're very friendly, lively, smiles always. And not intimidating unlike other nurses that check us from time to time. They're the less appreciated heroes.
Pray for the safety of all Filipino Frontliners around the world.💪💪🇵🇭🇵🇭
The most hardworking passionate nurse in the whole world 🇵🇭👍👍👍
I salute to all Filipino nurses and doctors working overseas. You guys are the real hero's.
Filipino = verb., also means "to nurse dutifully, patiently, and caringly."
Others Dictionary elsewhere abroad
DH=Slave. Wag naman po sana. Dahil ipinaglaban po yan ng mga Senator particular Maam L Legarda
We love life and humanity, we love our work and duties.
I think msnbc or economist did this topic too. With a full history lesson.
So proud of my Kababayans. I also took nursing because of the same reason.
Please be careful and stay safe. GOD bless you mga kababayan. ❤️
So proud of you mam gema ! God be with you and your family always 🙏
Thank you nadia🥰🥰🥰
Thanks to u❤️❤️❤️
American loves the Philippines since then they feel Wer still part of their community ,, their country..still we have own law,,,MaBuHaY Filipino nurses god bless Philippines
My brother who works as a doctor in one of the hospitals in New York. He is also one of the ffrontliners!
I wish you all the best all my kabayans! YOU ARE ALL HEROES !
While I'm living a comfortable life in my home country, the Philippines. Some of my fellow filipinos are working in other country, sacrificing their lives for the sake other people.
We need reforms in Philippine Health industry.
Dear filipinos, please appreciate our health workers. 🙏
And american citizens. Please stop being racist to all Asians. Not every Asians are Chinese people. 😔
At least they earn more than you do in a year. They still live more comfortably than you do.
@@romella_karmey lmao did you just assume her salary? Just because we live in the Philippines, doesn't mean we have a low salary lol. Did you also consider the cost of living between both countries? Heck, you can even have a decent meal here for only 2 dollars, a city apartment rent for 200 dollars with the same standard as that of Western city apartments. Stop being condescending wtf. You're literally romanticizing and glorifying their suffering.
Racists don't care what kind of Asian you are, that's why they're racists... So if you support anti-chinese racism in the USA, Canada, Australia ect...babalik lang racism sa inyo maging target ka din dahil sa mata nila magkamukha lang tayo lahat
American liberals are the most racist ones...
Not only reforms in health industry but the Constitution itself, which is flawed and restricts foreign direct investments.
Its good to know that Filipino Nurses are very relevant everywhere . Im working here
in Germany for more than 20 yrs.
in an EYE HOSPITAL and the only
Filipina around ..
Wow! I salute the courage of my kababayans and relatives who work as nurses not only in the US but all over the world! God bless you all!
Thank u front liners you make our country proud.
same here in saudi filipino nurses are the ones who faces on the frontline risking everything just to perform our duty fighting back against this pandemic..everyday exposed to patients positive with corona and still we do our job.God guide us in this war against this pandemic.
Thank u al jazeera for recognizing filipino nurses heroism not just only during pandemic.
Saludo Kami sa inyo🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Praying for my fellow Filipino in New York to keep them safe always.God bless you all
Thank you Aljazeera for doing segments for the underrated Nurses in the world. 🇦🇺
Thing is, the Filipino nurses are all world class Karaoke singers and madter cooks at the same time.
Wow!!! What an angel❤️❤️thank you❤️
God bless your mom.
God bless to the frontliners around the world. We have to fight this covid19 together 💪💪💪💪
Filipino migrants are very hardworking no matter what their profession. Leaving our Motherland is not easy for us. So if we live our country and migrate , that means we are committed to work hard. We face racism very often, and it’s invisible to the eyes of many. It even become a norm for many Filipinos, that they just ignored it and move on. But sometimes it’s too much, I encountered one “Karen”, and i had enough. I posted it my channel.
proud to be filipino u save life watching from zambales ph
thank you so much! I always say, you guys are my heroes!
Filipinos is Everywhere working as a Profesionals,Skilled workers hardworking,loving and godsfearing person thanks for this nice documentary for the filipino workers Frontliners i really love it
God bless Ali’s family. 🤍 may God keep you safe, healthy and loved.
Around the world nurses are working hard in all hospitals.
When people choose a work, if needed in front they must be there like any others, good luck to you all nursery and doctors in front line.
We choosed who we are, who we become! Love yourself and keep a good job!
In the first place, nurses in the Philippines should be paid the right way. People should not expect nurses and other professionals to stay here in the country and offer their expertise while not paying them enough to support themselves and their family.
Thanks you very very much for your service.
The Filipino nurses were multi talented in all context of professionalism but we the Filipino nurses were not that assertive in our way to always depend for our rights as a human being. Anywhere in the world we should always fight for our rights no matter what. Stand for it. Hurray
Keep safe my kaPilipinos...🙏🙏🙏
My experience as a Nurse in the Philippines is one of the worst. After graduating, I have to pay the hospital to be able for me to work as a volunteer. After 1 year I transfered to a private hospital and my salary/month is equivalent to more or less 95 USD. Nobody wants $95 a month, I have to move out of the country.
Regardless of your social standing, ethnicity or political beliefs, you or somebody you care for, will need the assistance and help of the medical community. These people are absolute Gems in society and they should be rightly treated so.
Best nurses in the world.
I don't know why someone will thumbs down the video. Shame on all of you!
i remember my first duty experience in the hospital here in Philippines.its a public hospital. and we were assigned in the ward section. and in the hallway i saw a female doctor reviving a 15 years old patient .. i was really scared to witness that event . on my first day of duty exposure . reviving a patient in the hallway.apparently theres no more room in the icu facilities.. and there's a lot of cases of dengue that day so there's a lot patient to be taken care of... i realize how important their job is sacrificing their whole life forthe profession they choose. ever if the hospital there working doesnt have enough equipment and good facilities to work. but still they choose to work whole heartedly. with kidness. and compassion.. its so sad to think that there not earning what they deserve for . . can u imagine there are people out there whos willing to pay millions of dollars to watch a famous celebrity in their . i truly believe thats this compassionate nurses deserve also to be paid higer wages . they deserve to be acknowledge .
But i will give all my salute and respect to our local frontliners who choose to stay and serve our poor countrymen to help , care and treat our sick people especially these pandemic times despite of their low salaries compared to their contemporary frontliners abroad! God bless you our local frontliners .....You are our heroes! May God protect you always! I'm so proud of our local frontliners , youre a God-send brave health warriors to our sick kababayans!
Thank you for the appreciation, but please don't judge nurses for working abroad. They just don't have a choice, working in countries that can compensate them with a rightful amount is their way to survive. Not all nurses in the Philippines are regularly employed most of them are contractual without benefits. You wouldn't know how hard it is until you become one.
I did not say anything about nurses working abroaf but rather i appreciated and admired more nurses who choose to stay in these pandemic times....and serve the country......i understand the situation.....
@@nesclem6254 sorry, I misunderstood your statement. Thanks again.
In fairness we all Pinoys are proud that wherever we are planted worldwide .....our quality of service is very well appreciated anywhere and everywhere by people all over the world !!!😊😃😆👍👍👍
@@nesclem6254 true! I worked in Saudi before as a nurse where 80% of employees were Filipino. My employer's assistant and secretary for so many years were Filipino too. I had an argument with a Yemeni doctor twice, our employer was so fair to us and sometimes he usually takes our side than any arab nationalities like Egyptian, Yemeni, or Saudi. God bless him.
Thank you for acknowledging the Filipino nurses! Salute to all nurses!
Please also try to have a documentary of nurses In Saudi Arabia where there's a silent battle of pandemic.. And there's millions of Filipinos there..
A huge THANK YOU to you all nurses and may God's abundant blessings be upon you and your family always... And may His Angels guard and guide you all 💗💗
God speed to protect everyone.Amen.
Filipino nurses are among the best in the world. After all, the Philippines is the top source of overseas nurses globally, as in the case of seafarers. In the last five years, several Filipinos have received awards from the Royal Family, and national and international bodies for their services to nursing and the community.
Here in England we lost 30 and counting brave filipino nurse heroes on covid19, but we will never be coward by this pandemic we will keep serving our Noble profession.. long live filipino around the world long live the Philippines.
Filipinos are the BEST HEALTH CARE providers. I assure you that!
Unsung heroes.
"Hoy! Pinoy ako! May Agimat ang dugo ko!" Bamboo
Those nurses are the heroes without capes
I agree we don’t need more immigrant nurses. As much as I love the Filipino/a nurses, we need to grow our own.
They don't pay nurses enough so many Americans won't enter the field.
It's politics bro.
Same all over the world. prayers brothers and sisters.
proud 🇵🇭
Mabuhay sa mga OFW na frontliners!
Thanks,To GOD be the Glory
i love you guys 👍🇺🇸🇵🇭🤝we are a family of health care workers .
theres no shortage of people but you cant find people get working because they dont want those job. mr cant you even learn most of your citizen resign during the height of the pandemic crying because of fear and un assured of what may come🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
