Robredo believes that it is utterly wrong to give priority to
the said project when there’s health crisis that has placed a lot of people’s
livelihood and health at risk.
“Parang iyong news items, plano pa ito since
2019. Pero sa akin, parang napaka-insensitive na gagawin mo iyan sa height ng
pandemic, na ang daming nagugutom. Ang daming naghihirap, gagawin mo iyong
pag-beautify,” Robredo said.
MANILA, Philippines — Vice President Leni Robredo has
questioned the government’s ‘insensitive’ move to put white sand on Manila Bay
when it cannot provide financial aid to the poorest families as she suggested.
Robredo said during her radio program on Sunday
that the government sends a wrong message with the physical beautification of
Manila Bay, which comes as the country’s economy is reeling from the effects of
the COVID-19 pandemic.
Even if the plan to place white sand
on Manila Bay’s shores along Roxas Boulevard is an old one, the Vice President
believes it is wrong to prioritize this amid a health crisis that has placed a
lot of people’s livelihood and health at risk.
“Parang iyong news items, plano pa ito since
2019. Pero sa akin, parang napaka-insensitive na gagawin mo iyan sa height ng
pandemic, na ang daming nagugutom. Ang daming naghihirap, gagawin mo iyong
pag-beautify,” Robredo said.
(I saw in the news items that this was a plan
since 2019. But for me, it seems insensitive to do that at the height of
a pandemic, where a lot is going hungry. A lot are struggling, but you
prioritize beautification?)
“[…] Ang isa sa mga suggestions ko, na iyong
mga pinakamahihirap na pamilya, bigyan sana ng parang pantawid-buhay man lang.
Ang suggestion ko nga, 5,000 [pesos] to the poorest families habang
naka-lockdown pa tayo. Ang sagot nila, walang pera. Parang sa akin, maling
mensahe: Nagsasabi kayong walang pera, tapos nakikita iyong ganito,” she added.
(One of my suggestions was to give the poorest
families assistance that could make them stay afloat. My suggestion was
to give P5,000 to the poorest families while we are still on lockdown.
They said there is no money. But for me, this sends a wrong message as
you said we have no money, but you can do these things.)
