Senator Panfilo Lacson says he can't understand 'what amulet or magic potion' Health Secretary Francisco Duque III has that keeps President Rodrigo Duterte lenient with him.

Senator Panfilo Lacson chided President Rodrigo Duterte for again defending Health Secretary Francisco Duque III and rejecting calls for his resignation, as the number of COVID-19 cases in the country continues to surge.

Lacson was among at least 14 senators who called for Duque’s resignation in mid-April, when local transmissions of the novel coronavirus were beginning to spike. Duque's"failure" to do simple contact-tracing on the country's first cases was further aggravated by his refusal to assume responsibility, Lacson said.

Duterte delivered a speech Sunday night, August 2, following an urgent plea from the medical community to revert Metro Manila and its surrounding regions to a stricter lockdown for two weeks. On Saturday, August 1, more than 80 medical groups asked the President for “timeout” for the country to regroup and rethink its strategy in addressing the pandemic.

It's not Duque who failed, it's the president Poverty... all the secretaries are just his extensions. He's the head of the octopus. Kahit anong gawin ng galamay kung hindi nya papagalawin hindi makakagalaw. The opposite is also true.

DILG po ang contact tracing

May mga secreto!!!

Look idiots...the people in power are not there because they are smart,mist have an IQ of a nursery grade child..money got them there...so of course they come up with retarded ideas ..what u expect

ayon kay salpan, saging daw🍌, si dok naman.....

Pagibig po ata ang tawag doon

I think letting Duque go, is equivalent of Duterte admitting his government fails in handling this pandemic, and I don't see him admitting that.

Doque knows a lot as in a LOT of Duterte's dirty laundry. Remember Doque's brother is one of Duterte's bestfriend way back when they're still student up until now.

The answer is: No one wants to work with Duterte.

wish the same leniency was accorded to 11000 abs workers.

Same thing with Faeldon, Bato Delarosa, Mocha Uson, etc....

Date p nmn kau walang naiintindihan

Sir, baka kasi alam ni Duque ang health status ni presidente?

Inaayos po muna niya yung mga papel-papel, bagay-bagay kasi pag nag-resign na siya, alam niyang patong-patong na kaso isasampa sa kanya. Sanitize-sanitize muna. 😜

Taena.. In denial pa rin eh. Duque is nothing but a yes-man. Duterte calls the shots, therefore.... DuterteResign

Siguro po meron syang alam na sikreto!

Lacson, its not Duque who is the problem. Its Duterte. Why not call a spade a spade!!! Do not sugarcoat your dissent thru Duque

The one time this wacko talks some sense lmao
