A Filipina nurse was awarded the British Empire Medal for her outstanding service during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Marami tayong namatay during the pandemic na mga Filipino and for some reason sa akin sila lumalapit and then I end up repatriating the body, supporting the family, pinaglalaban ko talaga kung magkano makukha nila," Horne said.
Horne, who flew to the UK in 2000 from her hometown in Albay to work as a nurse, is now the Deputy Associate Director of Nursing and Clinical Research Fellow at the National Health Service England. She was also awarded the Florence Nightingale Foundation Scholarship and Chief Nursing Officer Silver Award for her service during the pandemic."So many different kinds of discrimination, yes, I went through it pero ang ano doon kasi, you can't let it bring you down, you know. Iiyak ka 'pag sinabing bumalik ka na sa country mo may mga ganon.
