However, they have had the unique experience of having to explainTheir Philippine Regulatory Commission identification cards say “physician,” but some of those deployed to man the streets during the lockdown insist they have to see the word “doctor” on the IDs to be convinced.
Dr. Yasmin Zuñiga of the National Kidney and Transplant Institute said there had been times when she had to show her stethoscope to identify herself as a doctor.On April 21, Zuñiga’s friend, Dr Tere Ribano of the Asian Hospital and Medical Center and Makati Medical Center, posted on Facebook: “I need a sign that says ‘Physicians are Doctors / PhysiciansUnder the post, Ribano’s friend narrated that, at the grocery, her daughter showed her PRC ID, “which said physician.
Ribano told Rappler that posts and comments like these from doctors and medical workers are not meant to make fun of those assigned at the checkpoints. She said she had also met other people who were unaware that doctors and physicians were one and the same.Because of the lockdown, we were surprised that there are Filipinos who do not know what should have been basic informationsuch as physician is a synonym of doctor. Because of the pandemic, we face anew the hard truth that from being one of the most literate countries in Asia, the Philippines has fallen so far behind.
We hope our national government and leaders are taking down notes and seriously address how stunted the Filipinos’ mental growth have become.Inside Track is Rappler's intelligencer on people, events, places and everything of public interest.

the very very sad fact is that it has been a problem since day 1 of the ECQ and is still a problem until now.
This is truly sad but, at the same time educational, revealing and informative. Take care, everyone.
