SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY
Charito and Xyza are nurses working in the United Kingdom.
Charito is a staff nurse at Arbrook House Care Home, a private care home in Esher, Surrey.
Meanwhile, Xyza was a nursing home manager at the Kingsley House in Gumstool Hill.
Both Charito and Xyza were awarded the British Empire Medal or BEM by Queen Elizabeth II+ in recognition of their brave and honest service during the Covid-19 Pandemic that began in 2020.
BEM is awarded to community volunteers in recognition of their “meritorious” actions.
Charito said in an ABS-CBN interview in 2021 after receiving the honor, “a lot of nurses have died during the pandemic. I feel for them. They are really the true heroes but being awarded this shows that the UK is indeed a diversified Country and is recognizing Filipinos and all nurses who give service to their people, our people. “
