Notable historian Ambeth Ocampo said COVID-19 pandemic frontliners must be included in history textbooks to recognize their hard work and sacrifices in fighting the health crisis

Former President Fidel Ramos also recognized the hard work of health workers, police, military, and other frontliners during the pandemic, which he dubbed as"another dark moment" in Philippine history.

The coffee-table book, which is supported by San Miguel Corporation, chronicles 500 years of Philippine history and recognizes war veterans and local heroes. Authors of the book acknowledged frontliners as well as the private sector for their contributions to the local coronavirus fight. SMC alone has contributed over ₱13 billion to the pandemic response.

“We’re facing an enemy that we cannot see and that we do not know and that these people are still working in hospitals and caring for the sick makes their task more than ordinary, makes it heroic,” Ocampo told CNN Philippines’ Rico Hizon on Monday.
