Elvies Duque – a Nurse in Taguig, Philippines – passed away on 6 May, 2020, after suffering from COVID-19. Elvies was 29 years old.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“It was his dream job and he loved it,” Elvies’s younger brother Mark, a city hall employee at Cauayan City, told INQUIRER.net.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The frontliner was also remembered for the warmth he showed his patients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“He’s the most generous and kind person I knew. He loved everybody equally,” said Mark.  “Many of his patients [wouldn’t] eat if [he won’t] prepare the food. He [considered] his patients like they’re his family.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n

As he was treated at a hospital in Taguig, Elvies kept his condition a secret from his family even after he learned of his positive test results on April 26.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
