Another House leader has voiced his rejection of the racism and discrimination against the Chinese people even as Filipinos grapple with the fear of potentially contracting the 2019 novel coronavirus (nCoV).

Cavite fourth district Rep. Elpidio Barzaga enjoined his countrymen to be “fair and humane” to the foreigners as they were the hardest hit as far as the mysterious respiratory disease is concerned.

Earlier, former health secretary-turned-Iloilo first district Rep. Janette Loreto-Garin asked Filipinos not to discriminate against other people in connection with the nCoV paranoia. “I caution against discrimination and witch-hunting. We are here to help one another and not to put blame,” he said. Villafuerte said governors along with city and municipal mayors should prioritize the creation of these bodies following last week’s declaration by the World Health Organization of a global emergency over nCoV.

PH tourism to be adversely affected by nCoV outbreak – solonHouse Deputy Speaker and Surigao del Sur 2nd Rep. Johnny Pimentel said the Philippines’s booming tourism industry will likely take a hit from the slump in the number of Chinese visitors amid the 2019 novel coronavirus (nCoV) scare. If it meant stopping virus spread on our locals, no amount of tourism receipts can cure NCoV infection brought about by infected Chinese tourists. If every country immediately implemented the total ban to/from china from the start, tourism for all the other countries would not have been affected much minus chinese tourist of course.
