The Philippine tally was more than the 118,753 total infections announced by Indonesia’s health ministry on that day.on Thursday, the Philippines outranked Indonesia among Southeast Asian countries in the number of COVID-19 cass reported.Ibig sabihin po, dahil mas maigting ang ating pagte-test, hindi po totoo na mas maraming kaso tayo kaysa sa Indonesia.

"I don't know how to answer that but it's clear to me that Indonesia, with more or less the same cases as us has one-third of the actual testing we have conducted on our people," said Roque in a mix of English and Filipino.

One has to sincerly admit presence of a problem before one can find an effective solution...

Abnoy

Manipulator, facts and truth twisted!

'Political spin, in politics, the attempt to control or influence communication in order to deliver one’s preferred message.' -

Roque, look at what WHO said 👇🏽

Expert in spinning class!

wala kang maloloko dito huy

One thing the Arroyo and Duterte government have in common, they both have very good spinmasters.

But still, Spox, that’s hundreds of thousands of lives we are talking about. No matter how you explain, there’s no denying that the Duterte admin is ‘palpak’ in so many levels...

Totoo? Alam niyo na kung sino sino yung may covid19? E bat di pa sila ipa isolate lahat for 24 days para matapos na to?

Yan po actually ang role niya, guluhin ang mga issues. Siya ang Pambansang Tagapaglinlang.

Maybe i can cut attyharryroque some slack. Lying and twisting a story to give the public a positive statement is gonna be an impossible task considering what the actual facts are. But even though, every week, he stands in front of the public, to do his best.

Defensive attyharryroque . Can’t admit the fact that PH is the new epicenter in SEAsia...because their what they called IATF is inutile and loosing against the virus....

I told you attyharryroque, each time you talk, you put yourself deeper in a hole.

What’s new? He downplays important issues and makes a big deal out of criticism.

Why am i reading this as, “Roque is spreading FakeNews on Covid19PH?”
