The 33-year-old Bautista was one of the frontliners at the Mandaluyong City Medical Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Agusta WW24 aircraft carrying the group caught fire while taking off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An American national, a Canadian national and six Filipinos including Bautista perished in the flight. The Filipinos also included a flight medic, a nurse, and three flight crew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hours before the incident, Bautista posted on Facebook that he can’t wait for the COVID-19 crisis to be over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The doctor said he is afraid but he knows he is needed in the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His sister, Ria, described him as a strong and determined man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During their last conversation, she said he was in high spirits and still found ways to make things light despite being at the forefront of the COVID-19 fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said they had plans to gather again as a family once the Luzon-wide lockdown is lifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
