Senator Panfilo “Ping”
Lacson likened the situation of the Department of Health (DOH) Secretary
Francisco Duque III to a basketball game wherein the latter is the team captain
and he is playing badly in the game.
This is how
senator Lacson explained the Senate resolution seeking Health Secretary
Francisco Duque III’s resignation over his current handling of the novel
coronavirus 2019 disease or COVID-19 crisis.
In an exclusive
interview with DZBB and GMA News TV, Lacson reveals that the analogy he said
originally came from Senate President Vicente Sotto III, indicates the country
may lose the fight against the coronavirus if Duque remains as DOH Secretary.

“Nang
nagdi-discussion kami sabi ko kay SP ang ganda ng analogy niya kasi matatalo
tayo sa virus kung ang captain ball, ang nagdadala ng team, medyo wala sa
condition, nagkakalat,” Lacson said.
Yesterday a
resolution was signed by 14 senators calling for the resignation of DOH
Secretary Francisco Duque III for his shortcomings, which included “failure of
leadership, negligence, lack of foresight and inefficiency” that led to “poor
planning, delayed response, lack of transparency and misguided and
flip-flopping policies and measures in addressing” COVID-19.
The resolution
was questioned why in the midst of the health crisis, the senators want Duque
to go, Lacson said the DOH’s structure remains, only the secretary will go.
“Ang analogy nga
ni Senate President, basketball game, nagwawala at nagkakalat ang team captain
mo, hindi mo ilalabas? Matatalo tayo. Sabi ko ang ganda ng analogy,” Lacson
said.
