PACC where Greco Belgica is, is an Arroyo creation without a congressional law. It's what Arroyo, and now Duterte, is using to make people believe they are tough on corruption. 😎
This is called gaslighting: turning a corruption investigation into a battle against "imperial Manila" - it was never about the hospital. It was about allocation of funds for COVID-19: https://t.co/pUXSxSGIAl
My story now on @SCMPNews - China orders air passengers from Philippines to prove they don’t have Covid-19. Prominent ethnic Chinese activist Teresita Ang-See said rumours rife many Chinese Pogo workers returning to China tested positive upon arrival - https://t.co/USmy9vVKnB

BREAKING: Trump and the GOP refused to agree to a deal for coronavirus relief money. They’re too busy trying to put money in their donor’s pockets, and we won’t let them do that. No one should vote Republican ever again. This is beyond disgraceful. Shame on all of them forever.
Walang kwenta ang ECQ, MECQ, voluntary ECQ kung hindi maaayos ng gobyerno ang totoong problema ha. Yung nilista ng mga doktor kahapon: hospital workforce efficiency, contact tracing & quarantine, transportation safety, workplace safety, self-protection, social amelioration.
Yep. Let’s be very clear: the request for a 2-week ECQ is not a time-out dahil lang pagod, it’s a time-out to try to stem the rising tide of cases for the government to get its shit together and come up with an actual effective plan.
Our doctors say we are at wit’s end, go back to ECQ.
The rich solon tells them, don’t close the economy, just work hard.
The poor says, we fear but we must work.
Govt says we’ll take this up on Monday.
And so, we are where we are because we didn’t do what we should have done.
My colleagues are tired. Societies are calling for ECQ. Do I approve of it? Yes and No. Yes, because it gives time for our health systems/HCWs to recover. No because this will bide time AGAIN for incompetencies THEN WHAT? Uutang na naman? Tatanga na naman? Hindi ba kalokohan yun?
He made the announcement an hour before August 3 and expect everyone to follow their non-existent guidelines by August 4.
Ang masakit pa rito, our frontliners are asking for ECQ, pero MECQ lang naibigay. And to make it worse, Duque is still DOH secretary.
Bless the Philippines.
The reason why we need to reimpose ECQ (and why we are in a temporary MECQ) is NOT because our health workers have failed us, but because our government, 6 months into this pandemic, still can't get their shit together.
They wasted the last ECQ. Nakakagalit because it had to come to this. I can't imagine the exhaustion of healthcare workers at the forefront of this battle. At the same time I can't imagine the uncertainty of daily wagers who have to go through another period of no work no pay
FACT-CHECK:
The ABS-CBN Data Analytics Team won Best Statistical Reporting "for epitomizing the idealistic notion of fair and balanced journalism" just last October.
Sino nag-award? Philippine Statistics Authority. Gobyerno 😂😘
Just to remind you that @TishaCM is back. @EastonsGroup did not listen to the appeals because they are so lazy to check the evidences. They are quick to support #BlackLivesMatter protest but did not bat an eye with all the tweets of Leticia Mabalay.
