The
President of the Republic knows that government alone cannot do it alone, the
invisible enemy makes it more complicated to run a country with more than 110
million population.
President
Rodrigo Roa Duterte has appealed to the country’s bilyonaryos to dig deeper
into their pockets because the national treasury does not have enough financial
resources to keep millions of Filipinos locked inside their houses during the
duration of the Luzon-wide lockdown while the economy is almost grounded to a
halt.
“May I address myself to the people who
have the money now to help pati ‘yung mga employers,” said Duterte in a late
night address Monday night.

“Alam mo, tulungan ninyo ang — ang
gobyerno — ang bayan natin. Kasi pagka bumagsak ang gobyerno, bagsak kayong
lahat,” he added.
A number of the country’s tycoons have
already mobilized their own relief operations to augment the government’s
supply, have donated billions of pesos to buy food packs and medical suppliers
to help indigent and low-income Filipinos while addressing the concerns of
their own employees and business partners.
Duterte during his public
address said the war chest of government would never be enough to bankroll the
food and other basic needs of Filipinos during the lockdown which could be
extended to April 30 or longer.
“Ang hinihingi ko sa inyo, ‘yung
panawagan ko: Be patient at intindihin ninyo kami sa gobyerno. We would
appreciate it…‘wag kayong masyado. Tutal kung sabihin ko na talaga na wala na,
wala na
akong magawa, then magplano ka na kung anong gusto mong gawin,” said Duterte. “When the resources are all exhausted and the pandemic would claim millions of lives — I hope really and I pray that it will not — pero kung ganon, wala na akong magawa. Malapit na. Ilang buwan lang ang reserba natin,” he added.
