Charleanne Jandic, a 27-year-old
medical intern has just finished her shift at the Chinese General Hospital when
she went all the way to Muntinlupa to receive her Kabayan Bayani Award from
from the Kabayan partylist group on Sunday afternoon.
Jandic was among the
first to receive the Kabayan Bayani Award, along with PO2 Danilo Agustin of the
Eastern Police District.
The 27-year-old medical
intern said she was not used to attention, but Kabayan Rep. Ron Salo pushed for
the recognition of her heroism.

Besides the award, Salo
will rename his proposed law, the Emergency Medical Services System Bill to
“Charlie Jandic Law,” once it hurdled the Congress.
The bill mandates the
installation of permanent emergency responders in each city and the creation of
a national universal emergency number.
Jandic and Agustin’s
prompt response in applying first aid to 24-year-old Angeline Fernando, who
fell on the tracks of the Metro Rail Transit 3, made it possible for the
successful reattachment of her severed arm in Makati Medical Center.
Moreover, Jandic also
received a cash incentive and a plaque with the inscription: “Sa kanyang
ipinamalas na kabutihan at pagmamalasakit sa kapwa. Ang kanyang pagtulong sa
kapwang nangangailangan nawa ay maging inspirasyon sa bawat Pilipino.”
Jandic also found it
amusing that some “patients and workmates would stop by and tell me: ‘Doc, papicture
naman’.”
