Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic raised multiple crises especially with the healthcare sector in the Philippines. Medical frontliners have become more vulnerably susceptible to health risks and other associated factors amidst the situation. Consequently, this study intended to determine the frontliners’ level of work habits, attitude and productivity (WHAP) specifically, in terms of the respondents’ age, sex, occupation, type of sector affiliation, length of service, salary and employment status. The study constituted 100 medical frontliners within Cagayan and utilized Work Habits, Attitude and Productivity Scale (WHAPS) by Vicentia M. Cervera, Ed. D which is a standard tool for measuring the level of manifestation of workers in different work-related behaviors. T-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were the statistical tools used to know if there is a significant difference in the level of the respondents’ WHAP when grouped according to their profile.

The results have also shown a significant difference on the following: age according to level of work orientation; type of sector affiliation according to level of motivation; employment status according to level of productivity; and length of service and salary according to level of concentration, significant at p-value
