00:00Some nurses in the Philippines are nervous

00:03about the possible effects of Trump's immigration policy

00:06on their American dream.

00:09But according to a group of Filipino nurses in the US,

00:12they are still in demand.

00:14US Embassy's reaction to JP Soriano's speech.

00:21They just graduated from a nursing course

00:23at a university in Manila,

00:25named Frances and Bianca.

00:27They say they want to work in the Philippines

00:30as nurses.

00:32But the salary is low and not enough.

00:36That's why they target Americans to work there,

00:39especially those who have relatives there.

00:42They can't help but worry

00:44that they might be accompanied by

00:46those who want to go to America

00:48in order to stop the Trump administration

00:51from hiring illegal immigrants.

00:53I think it will be harder for us

00:55to work or apply there

00:57since I feel like they will be more strict

01:01in the way of hiring workers from other countries.

01:07But US Ambassador to the Philippines,

01:10Medicaid Carlson, said earlier

01:11that Americans have a high regard for Filipinos,

01:16especially Filipino nurses

01:18who helped and sacrificed in hospitals

01:21during the COVID-19 pandemic.

01:23Filipino healthcare workers in the U.S.

01:25are hardworking, hardworking, and kind.

01:29And the Trump administration

01:31is proud of them.

01:33It's not that I'm proud,

01:35but Filipinos are great nurses.

01:39And I think one of the major nurse exporters

01:43of nurses to go abroad

01:46is from the Philippines.

01:48Despite the worry,

01:50I think they still need us, possibly.

01:54Of the 5 million nurses in the U.S.,

01:57there are 200,000 Filipino nurses

02:00or 4% of the nursing population in America.

02:05And according to the Philippine Nurses Association of America,

02:09or PNAA,

02:10the need for hospitals in America

02:14is high for Filipino nurses.

02:16That's why the Philippine government

02:19is increasing the need for America

02:21when it comes to Trump's

02:24immigration issue.

02:26Given the rising needs of healthcare professionals,

02:29especially nurses in the U.S.,

02:31I think that's going to be a leverage,

02:33especially us Filipinos.

02:35They know that the caliber of nurses

02:38from the Philippines is very high.

02:42For GMA Integrated News,
