Dapat si Duterte! VP Leni says Duterte should be at forefront of assuring Pinoys re 2019-nCoV threat

Vice President Maria Leonora “Leni” Robredo lashed out the Duterte government regarding the handling of the 2019- Novel Coronavirus Acute Respiratory Disease (2019-nCoV ARD).

Robredo reiterates her call for the Duterte officials to be “decisive and swift” with their decisions regarding nCoV.

In her weekly radio show, Robredo suggested that in the light of the seriousness of the matter at hand it would be best if President Rodrigo Duterte himself would step up to assure the Filipino people and update them on the actions that the government is taking to address the threat posed by the virus.

“Pinakamabuti sana kung si Pangulo iyong lumabas in public para mag-make ng statements,” she said

“Alam natin na iyong popularity ni Pangulo, napakataas. Kapag siya iyong nag-assure mismo na ‘everything is under control, lahat ginagawa, ito iyong mga ginagawa’, tingin ko maiibsan iyong takot ng tao,” she added.

The Vice president is frustrated with the different statements and claims being issued left and right on the matter may be contributing to the “distrust”, confusion, and fear that many feel about the virus, which originated in the city of Wuhan in China.

“[A]ng problema kasi, iba-iba iyong mensahero, iba-iba pa iyong mensaheng binibigay. Masyado pang tentative iyong pagkabigay. Gaya noon, sabi ni Secretary Panelo, ‘eh papaano ibibigay [ang mga face masks sa mga tao], kayo ang nagsasabi na wala naman.’ Dapat hindi iyon sinasabi ng opisyal, ‘di ba? Dapat sinasabi niya na ‘ginagawa na namin ang lahat para siguraduhin na as soon as possible magkakaroon na ng mga masks na available sa market.’”

“Talagang ngayon kasi medyo may distrust dahil iba-iba, eh, iba-iba iyong sinasabi. Halimbawa, iyong temporary ban na hinihingi sa flights sa China, may mga sinasabi pa about diplomatic relations; hindi siya nakakatulong, eh. Hindi siya nakakatulong at a time like this. Dapat sana mas decisive, mas swift, kasi iyon iyong assurance na hinihingi ng tao,” the Vice President added.
