Vice
President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo will support the Duterte administration
if it so decide to extend the enhanced community quarantine provided it will be
explained thoroughly, things and info that are “crucial” for the people
understanding why its necessary and with respect to the assistance what the
government will provide.
Sec. Carlito Galvez Jr., the commander of the national task
force against the new coronavirus disease (COVID-2019), made it public that
the government is mulling the possible extension of the Luzon wide quarantine
for 15 to 20 days.
“Information at pag-asikaso ng pangangailangan nila ay napakahalaga,” she said in an interview with ABS-CBN News Channel.

(The most important things are giving the
public information and tending to their needs.)
Based on current projections, she said an extension
would further flatten the curve.
“Pero crucial para mag-cooperate ang mga tao,
crucial na naiintindihan nila kung bakit kailangan gawin. Kung hindi nila
naiintindihan bakit kailangan gawin, ‘yung resistance nandyan,” she said.
(It’s crucial that for people to cooperate,
they need to understand why we need to do this. If they can’t understand why,
there will be resistance.
Robredo is also of the opinion that it is much better for the Local Government Units rather than the Department od Social Welfare and Development is the best government agency to handle the national government’s social amelioration program.
“Ako naniniwala ako na ang LGU ang dapat gumagawa nito..Ang
LGU yung may sense kung ano talaga ang nangyayari on the ground, LGU ang
nakakaalam ng landscape,” she said.
(I believe that the LGUs are the ones who need
to do this… The LGUs know what really is happening on the ground, they know the
landscape.)
“Maglagay na lang ng maraming safety nets para
naiiwasan yung kinatatakutan na korupsyon, Pero kung dahil sa takot sa korupsyon,
hindi ito makarating on time sa mga tao, I think yun ang bigger problem,” she
added.
(Let’s put many safety nets so that we can avoid the dreaded
corruption. If aid doesn’t reach the public on time due to corruption, I think
that’s the bigger problem.)
