CORONAVIRUS RESTRICTIONS. President Rodrigo Duterte reiterates travel restrictions against non-Filipinos coming to the country directly from China, Hong Kong, and Macau as the novel coronavirus spreads. Malacañang photo
"If the question is if I will bar Chinese from entering, the answer of course is no. That is an utter disrespect to a human being.... This mentioning [of] the Chinese and blaming them is xenophobia," Duterte said in a press conference Monday night.Duterte said calls to have Chinese in the Philippines return to China were"a case of bad taste.
"We have many Filipinos in China. Even if we have none, we are a community of nations, we cooperate. China has been kind to us, we can only show the same," Duterte said.The Philippine government on Sunday, February 2, implemented a ban against non-Filipinos coming to the country directly from China, Hong Kong, and Macau in an effort to quell the spread of the virus.
Asked if the government is considering expanding travel bans to include other countries with confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus, Duterte said the Philippines would follow the advice of the World Health Organization .
Lahat ng Chinese kung galing mainland at SAR dahil hindi pa yata locked down ang borders aming these regions. Kaya nagpoprotest ang HK med workers.
Is duterte aware that he is making his own people (us!) look bad? Does he even know what he's saying? Is he under medication? MentalHealthMatters
Ano daw alam mo tungkol sa respeto? Pinatatanong ng dati nyong maid.
lead the way mr. pres...set a good example to your people...show us your tolerance...show us your compassion...GO TO CHINA, anywhere in China and prove us wrong...
While Filipinos are scared of being infected our President who should be the one protecting and defending us choose to concentrate on defending the Chinese. I do understand that xenophobia/racism has no space in our society but please atleast think of us first
Dapat anak niya ang magka ncov para matauhan. Ugok talaga. chayhofilena lenirobredo Palitan mo na kaya. Ka-estupiduhan ang pinagsasabi nito. risahontiveros ABSCBNNews
we voted a President can't protect Filipino 😌💔
God bless this country
Filipino first in the Philippines is NOT EQUAL to being unkind. It is not xenophobia for Filipinos to exercise the right to be cautious. It is being human to fear for own lives from the CoronaVirusOutbreak that CAME from China.
Bakit ang bait-bait sa mga Intsik pero sa mga Pilipino, 'di pa man napapatunayang nagkasala 'PAPATAYIN KO KAYO' OUSTDUTERTE2020
Even g7 countries agreed that the isolation approach wl not work against the coronavirus.
Putting words into du30s mouth n leaving important points to make du30 look bad. Tssk. u r more evil than du30
Hindi ba alam ni Duterte na nakakahawa at nakakamatay ang virus na ito? Kakagising lang ba nya at hindi pa nahihimasmasan? Ano bang klaseng presidente ito?
You know what? Parang hindi na sa atin itong Pilipinas, parang kay Duterte at sa China na. Nakakagalit.
China-loving administration.
Ban all flights coming in from China and ban anyone chinese or ibang lahi na nag punta sa china in the last month. Kelan ka pa naging concerned sa human rights itong si duterte?
He looks dying
FYI! Better to do own research rather than trust you ! BeFair
Let say the ourbreak was from US, would he say the same thing? Bet NOT. ayawsateamchinaputangina
Where can we classify EJKs then?
Gusto nya kumalat yung virus
🙄
why not just go to china to join them there. You are no longer representing the sentiment of the filipino people.... so selfish.
EJK victims rise up...sundoin nyo na ang animal na to.
“utter disrespect to a Chinese human being”. Priority niya ang Chinese kasi hawak siya sa bayag ng China. No respect to Filipinos kasi second class citizens lang ang Pilipino sa Pilipinas. 🤬 oustduterte
Pilipino pa ba si Duterte?
Kills Filipino’s like we are coackroaches, but the Chinese are human beings.
Bobo mo papatayin mo kami lahat!
hoping our next president will not fall in love with the chinese president.
Yung mga Chinese na dadating pwede mag-courtesy call kayo sa bangag na presidente?
2nd class citizen na lang mga Pinoy sa sariling bansa.
hindi lang naman chinese ang dapat i-ban, basta lahat ng may recent travel history from china. Hirap talaga kausap ng buang. Sana lang sa malacañang niya patuluyin yung mga yan at ngayon siya manghalik manyakis 👊🏼💩 OUSTDUTERTE2020 ChangeScamming
Kian delos santos left the group.
Quarantine them first, before they are totally allowed to visit the country. This NCov scare is real, however, not all Chinese people are infected.
