Robredo to Duterte: Why so quick to act on VFA but slow on novel coronavirus?

"Nakakagulat na ganoong kabilis, kasi iyong naiisip ko, iyong pumutok iyong coronavirus – iyon, iyong agarang pagdesisyon ng pamahalaan, kinakailangan para maproteksyunan iyong kalusugan ng mga mamamayan, pero naghintay pa ng ilang araw bago magdesisyon.

Despite efforts from Cabinet members and lawmakers to hold off the VFA's termination, at least until after a thorough study of its consequences, Duterte ordered that the US government be officially notified of his decision on Tuesday, February 11.News of the outbreak of a new virus in China came out in December 2019, and by January 5, health officials were pushing for closer monitoring of visitors from China coming in through airports and harbors.

By the time Duterte addressed the public about the virus in a media conference on February 3, a second case of the viral infection in the Philippines had been confirmed – and had died, becoming the first death from the disease outside China. On Wednesday, she questioned Duterte's motive for scrapping the VFA, especially since members of his own Cabinet warned that it would largely be against the Philippines' own interests.

Para ma divert yung attention sa VFA at hindi sa corona virus.

Bakit mabilis nga?

marcinareus02 Exactly!

Yan lang kasi alam ng walang kwentang administrasyon ngayon. I-distract ang publiko from the real problems.

Kasi po di pinapasok ng US yung alaga nyang ASO. 😎 duterteresign DuterteDoubleStandards

But of course, so Duterte and his government can divert the attention away from his incompetence, thats why he also has to put on the news the abs cbn franchise cancellation issue, so he can cover up for his mishandling of the corona virus epidemic, entering the Philippines

Tama si Leni. Gogogo Future President Leni. DuterteResign

Basta trabaho at kapakanan ng bayan, papapatay patay yang si Digong. Me 'best & brightest' naman daw siya. 🙄 Pero in defense of China o ka-alyadong pasaway o di kaya kakasira ng kalaban, full attention yan, bumubula pa ang bibig sa kakainsulto o kakamura. OustDuterte

Robredo hits Duterte's misplaced urgency in junking VFAVice President Leni Robredo compared developments on the termination of the Visiting Forces Agreement to the President's rather slow response to the novel coronavirus outbreak. No sense of urgency to decide on Covid-19, but rushing over to decide on termination of VFA due to a visa denial - sadly for both, the security of the Filipinos are compromised 😭 Here we go again?
