Palace: COVID-19 is country’s enemy No. 1

The new coronavirus disease is the country’s foremost enemy while the University of the Philippines is like a “ringside commentator” amid the public health emergency, presidential spokesman Harry Roque said Wednesday after drawing a stinging rebuke over his congratulatory remark for beating UP’s coronavirus forecast.

“Medyo slow sila to gets. Hindi po talaga UP ang kalaban. Ako po ay buong buhay ko sa UP nag-aral at labinlimang taon po akong nagturo ng full-time diyan sa UP. Hindi po UP ang kaaway; ang kaaway po natin ay COVID-19. Kaya nga lang po ginagamit po ng UP ang mathematical models para mag-forecast kung ilan sa atin ang magkakaroon ng COVID-19 ,” Roque said over “Unang Hirit” television program.

In a separate interview over CNN Philippines, Roque admitted that beating the UP forecast is a “small victory” especially since the researchers have been previously accurate about its prediction on coronavirus cases. He described UP as a “ringside commentator” that gives forecasts on coronavirus cases.

Kayo ang 1 enemy ng bayan

Sa lahat ng nangyayari ngayon sa bansa, gobyerno ang enemy No.1

Meralco is the country enemy number one

shit i thought U.P focus na man sila na hindi aabot ng 40k cases

Ano ba offer sayo ng palace mr. roque para bumalik ka maging presidential spokesman?

kala ko UP

and the enemy No. 2 is UP?

NOOOOOOOOO! It's the NPA. It's ABS-CBN. It's the critics of Duterte. TongueIna, Pilipinas, kaya pa?

Dami niyong No. 1 dati NPA, ngayon UP naman kalaban nyo. Lahat kalaban nyo maliban sa COVID19.
