Prince Charles extends heartfelt thanks to Filipino healthcare workers

Prince Charles of Wales extended on Friday (June 11) his heartfelt thanks to the Filipino nurses and healthcare workers in the United Kingdom (U.K.).

In a video for the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the diplomatic relations of the Philippines and the U.K., and Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday, the Prince of Wales said that the bilateral relations of the two countries further strengthened when the world faced the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The bonds of friendship between us are stronger than ever. At a time when we have faced the unprecedented challenges of the coronavirus, those links have provided the foundation for us to work together towards a better future.”

He highlighted that the diligence and care of the Filipino medical frontliners in the U.K. cannot be surpassed.

“To these wonderful, selfless people, I wanted to offer my most heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding care and comfort that you give to your patients. You have made a truly remarkable contribution to the health and well-being of so many people across the country at such a difficult time.”  (PTV News)/NGS-rir
