Senator Franklin Drilon swung at the Duterte administration’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, describing it as a shotgun approach that failed in two things—protecting the livelihood of people and keeping coronavirus under control. | LeilasINQ

“This is the result of the ‘shotgun’ approach in handling COVID-19,” he said.

Given this development, Drilon said the government should undertake swift and decisive action to revive the demand side of the economy and to help the poor.“We should expand it but we must retain those families who received the first tranche because they are the ones who are badly hit by the pandemic,” he said.

Drilon said the government should rethink its strategies as the continued rise in COVID 19 cases, along with corruption allegations, are drowning people’s confidence. Senate President Pro-Tempore Ralph Recto said the recession was expected, and said the government needed to prove that it can handle the pandemic.“So far , the people, consumers, workers, investors think government is losing the battle,” said Recto, an administration ally.

“Bayanihan 2 will help initially but many are commenting it should be followed by other economic actions,” he said.

LeilasINQ That is because there was lack of planning.

LeilasINQ Mr Drilon, easier to criticize than offer clearcut effective solutions? Anyway, u are not the president so see and wait if ur turn would come.

LeilasINQ di na to makikita sa senado next 2022

LeilasINQ Namumulitika lang itong senador na ito na maliwanagnpq pa sa sikat ng araw na halos lahat ng mga bansa sa mundo eh pare-pareho ng sitwasyon. Even those superpower countries like US and Russia are much worse than the Phils. sa COVID-19 rates. Drillon should not be voted again!

LeilasINQ what can you expect from an incompetent president that has a governance strategy of an SK chairman

LeilasINQ You failed to point out how many lives were saved by what this government did. We saved around 40,000 lives. This government chose lives over economy.

LeilasINQ Even US and Uk were nt successful in fighting covid. Uk declared 9.5% negative growth and US reported 1.2M unemployment. Tanga ka pala drilon. Kala ko matalino ka.
