'Things cannot be better if you have a President who is so aberrantly obsessed with martial law he thinks it can defeat anything – even a pandemic.' COVID19PH Read Vergel O. Santos' ThoughtLeaders piece: 'Things cannot be better...'

as a tricycle driver, he protested, broken-voiced from fighting back tears: It is hard to be poor. By its nuance, the vernacular in which he actually spoke captured the full depth of his pain:It is no consolation to him that, having no regard for income class, this pandemic works as an equalizing phenomenon. That, in fact, is the cruelest case of insult added to injury; that’s rubbing salt on the deep, long-festering wound this nation’s poor have been suffering as a distinctly disadvantaged lot.

This administration was itself roundly ridiculed for a patently absurd minimum monthly sum it said a family of 5 could live by –, which comes to about P67 a day for each family member, which did not, and still does not, buy a meal. The economic authorities came back quickly with a number enlarged 4 times.

At the end of last month Congress gave his government P275 billion for cash relief to citizens impoverished by the pandemic. Corporations and corporate groups, by one list alone, are shown to have contributed P7 billion, presumably in cash, for his government to preside over – he has specifically instructed all contributors to course their aid through his government.

Things cannot be better if there are media outlets who deliberately try to destroy the credibility of the president other than helping him.

Shot up

Walang kwentang news advisory.. Tsk..

natoreyes Hoy bobo nio midyang bayaran ralihistang bayaran equals taong bobo

What to expect from rappler? You are like an activist, always complain with the government..

walang martial law kung walang matigas ang ulo COMMON SENSE

Ungas its for the peace and order situation owing to the killings,of soldiers. Ungas ka

Nothing wrong if the President will impose martial law to help address Covid 19.

Kung ayaw nu ng military na nasa check point okay cge.. ang mga ilagay dun ay mga Padre, madre, Pastor, Senator at mga reporters. Wala clang dalang baril. Bulaklak. bulaklak ang dala nila. para sa lahat ng lalabag , dapat amo-amuin nila . Okay ba un?

Wag kau puro reklamo, nasa sais mil na nga ang nagpositibo eh , hindi pa kau naalarma kc hindi pa kau infected? pero pag hindi kau naabutan ng ayuda nagrereklamo kau? com ' on kuya that is violence!

Ayaw na namin ng quarantine. Kung gusto nu pa ito, cge labas kau. kau ang magtao sa checkpoint. Kunin nu sa paawa effect lahat ng tao. Kung ayaw nu ng military, suggest kau ng solusyon. Demonstrate your brilliant ideas.

Spin

Disappointing to hype that. Its unwarranted and dangerous to report this in a time of crisis. You are bringing nothing good to the table with this garbage reporting.

Bobong rappler!

Is this the real rappler? well then it's a joke. you one sided media pricks needs to be put to rest. adios.

That’s the one thing he is the most decisive about. Well two things. To kill or potentially implement martial law are his go to strategies!

hahaha...lawless Filipinos like you and rappler are the reasons why martial law must be implemented..the president is not obsessed about it, he is just getting this option if worst comes worst and it's actually almost getting worst..martial is what we need..

This Santos will relize the importance of the troops only when looters start crawling on his doorsteps. If there is no order expect nothing but destruction.

Intindihin mabuti lage ang cnsabi ni pres DU30. He mention martial law pra sa lugar na my nanggugulo mga NPA. Ina ambush nila ang mga sundalo at pulis na escort ng mga my dala ng relief goods na pra sa tao tpos kukunin nila.

Really? Look at USA & Spain. You want us to be like this evening fools? Hence, your statement is baloney.

After COVID-19, you'll be the next Rappler!

Things cannot be changed obvious pa rin ang pag ka anti duterte! Crabbler bitter pathetic.

Martial law here in Mindanao. We are very safe naman!

Then i guess you think its better if the streets are filled with people? So the pandemic will kill them all? Bruh if you wanna go out then go if you die we dont care. Instead of saying shits help the president ghad.

Bulok rappler haha, shoo uwe don

You know why po the government uses armed forces, armed personnels, etc., eh kasi they anticipated na mayroong mga tao na makigulo during this pandemic. Do you expect our medical frontliners such as doctors, nurses and etc na maghahabol pa sila sa mga suwail na mga tao ngayon?

You also cannot help by always sensationalizing the news against the government.

mariaressa obsessed na obsessed ka talaga kay Duterte ano? Crush mo ba si Duterte ateng? Pasensya ka na. Hindi pumapatol si Duterte sa mga 'hamfanget' at matsing na tulad mo. 🐒

Anti-duterte attack again, hindi na nagbago

I guess that would be better than having lollipops and twirlers. Like the previous one 🤣

Ang kitid tlga ng mga utak nyo... Kau kaya naging pangulo, tpos ang mga taong nasasakupan nu ay kaytitigas nang ulo... Isa na kau dun

The best president

obsessed of threatening the public to declare martial law or to implement a martial law like rule... i think he won’t do it because he knows that it will he his downfall.

When you run out of solution. Repeat history!

Things can never be better if you have this media that is so obnoxiously obsessed discrediting the President and his administration.

NASANAY sa demokrasya ang mga filipino kasing tigas ng mukha ng founder at reporters ng rappler na to.

I SUPPORT MY PRESIDENT

And obssessed of china
