Medical institute gets love from netizens; #helloRITMfrontliners trends

The hashtags #helloRITMfrontliners trended on Twitter last March 20 as netizens pay tribute to the workers at the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine or RITM.

The facility and the medical and non-medical staff are at the frontline of the country’s efforts to stop the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

A member of the RITM communications team shared that she is a witness to the hard work of the employees at the facility.

She said they are tired, work for long hours, and some have become emotional as silent witnesses of those who succumb to the dreaded disease.

She encouraged those on Twitter to send words of encouragement, “thank you’s” with #helloRITMfrontliners to show the RITM team that their work is appreciated.

The netizens did not fail her.

In the morning of March 30, the hashtag reached the No. 2 spot of Philippine trends.
