"Wag namang huhusgahan ‘yung lahat na mga Chinese citizens" amid fears of 2019-nCoV - VP Leni

Vice President Maria Leonora “Leni” Robredo is calling on all Filipinos to be more respectful and not to discriminate towards Chinese nationals living in the Philippines, including thise of Filipino-Chinese community, amidst the 2019- Novel Coronavirus Acute Respiratory Disease (2019-nCoV ARD).

“Dapat nga mas sympathetic tayo du’n sa mga nandoon sa, kumbaga, in the line of fire,” Robredo said on her weekly radio show on Sunday (February 2). “Hindi ito laban sa mga tao nila (China), pero laban ito sa sakit na kumakalat ngayon. Kaya sana hindi naman ganoon ‘yung treatment natin, kasi hindi naman nila ‘yun kasalanan.”

“Kung sa atin ‘yun nangyari, hindi rin natin gusto na ganoon ‘yung treatment sa atin. Kaya ‘yon rin ‘yong pakiusap natin sa mga kababayan natin: na ‘yung focus nasa problema saka nasa solusyon. Wala na ‘yung mga unnecessary na kutyaan kasi hindi talaga siya nakakatulong,” she added.

The Vice President understands the situation of Filipinos that wish to be careful against the 2019- Novel Coronavirus Acute Respiratory Disease (2019-nCoV ARD). However, Chinese citizens should not be outrightly judged just because the outbreak of the nCoV is from Wuhan City, Hubei, China.

“’Wag namang huhusgahan ‘yung lahat na mga Chinese citizens, ‘yung lahat na bumibisita dito sa atin… Tama na nag-iingat tayo, tama na temporarily suspended ‘yung mga flights. Pero ito po, walang iisang may kasalanan dito, kaya tayo, magtulungan,” she said. “[H]indi po nakakatulong ‘yung paghuhusga sa iba pang mga nakakasalamuha natin, kasi pare-pareho lang naman po tayo.”
