MANILA - Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon on Wednesday said that the opposition bloc is "willing to cooperate" with the Duterte administration to help the Philippines "survive" the coronavirus disease 2019 crisis.

"Being in the opposition is not easy... But we are willing to cooperate and provide to the best of our abilities [to have] policies that we believe can help our country get out of this difficulty," he said.The opposition bloc in the current Senate is only composed of 4 members namely Drilon, Sen. Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan, Sen. Risa Hontiveros and detained Sen. Leila de Lima.

While the opposition is ready to help the government, it will continue to "call a failure" several strategies to address the COVID-19 crisis, the Senate Minority Leader said. "There is no solution to this but we have to take the bull by the horn and have proposals that will guide us. Today we have none, unfortunately," he said.
