No, only the government of the Philippines cried foul. Why are you booing Thailand? They're right!
If you'd have reacted immediately to the outbreak, then you might not be at the forefront of criticism in a Thai newspaper.

Translation ng isang ofw na nakakaintindi ng Thai: 'sa Philippines po daw everyday may covid cases kahit daw tulong ang mga military walang magawa po'
Inappropriate, insensitive and unhelpful as it may be, it is not incorrect.
