Inalala ni Ruby Rodriguez ang pagpanaw ng kanyang kapatid na si Dr. Sally Gatchalian na isang frontliner.
Pumanaw si Dr. Sally March 26, last year dahil sa COVID-19. Isa itong pediatric infectious diseases specialist at the Philippine General Hospital and Research Institute for Tropical Medicine.
Siya ang national president of the Philippine Pediatric Society, Inc. noong magkaroon ng COVID-19 pandemic sa bansa.
Heto ang tribute ni Ruby sa kanyang Manang Sally sa first death anniversary nito:
“It has been a year to date that our dear Manang Sally aka Dr. Sally R. Gatchalian, left us for a better place. She is a vaccine advocate! She fought really hard for children’s welfare and well-being. She is one of the first 10 Doctors who passed away due to Covid.
“This Pandemic has taught us a lot. Let us all hang on and keep the faith as Manang Sal would say ‘An ounce of prevention is much more than a pound of cure.’ Keep safe, love your family, smile with your friends… we don’t know til when. As she is a Super K Drama Fan/Addict to all we say SARANGHAE. Manang Sally, saranghaeyo, bogoshipo neomu neomu.”
