Duterte, known for making similarly populist remarks, even wanted his order implemented in 'three days,' despite being told previously that health workers would be receiving all the vaccines on hand, and that indigent communities are farther down the pr...

President Rodrigo Duterte wants the government to bring COVID-19 vaccines directly to the poor so that they would not have to travel to hospitals to get inoculated.

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III, however, pointed out the huge logistical challenge that such a directive would entail. To give them protection, vaccines should be brought to them using however number of government cars it would take, he said.Ang order ko ngayon is for the team to give you the vaccine, at least mayroon. Kung 5, 6, 7 [kotse] okay na 'yan, maraming sasakyan. We will use all government assets. Gamitin natin lahat ng sasakyan ng gobyerno, lahatDuque carefully pointed out that the problem with such a directive was not so much how many cars the government could spare.

The process would be similar to"voting precincts" in which even the poor have access to the ballot wherever they live, said Duque.

Maliit na bagay.

Idiotic suggestion and would have been ridiculously funny were it not for the fact that this came from the president of a country of 110M, during a global pandemic when most countries are trying to solve their own pandemic concerns using science and logic.

may sarili syang highways na dadaanan ng mga cars. lasing na naman ba si Duterte? bakit ganyan mga banat nya? akala nya ba Davao lang ang minamanage nya? style mayor at diskarteng pam Barangay ang alam ni kanor.

I think he’s a failure.

'We need lots of cars.' No, dork. We need government officials with concrete plans. Hindi puro band aid solutions. DutertePalpak

Ito ang napapala natin sa pangulong palaging tulog. Hindi alam ang policies ng sarili nyang gobyerno. Diyos ko po na mahabagin. Tama na po ang parusa at sakuna na dulot ng incompetent at inutil na pangulo na to sa buong bansa.

Style good cop, bad cop. Parang pelikula.

lapse in mental judgement este chopsue leadership & management style is pretty much a chinese recipe but too sweet for a menu, sumptuous kumbaga..

Hindi Ako makapaniwala na presidente to. Mayor nga kaduda duda na.
