#DutertePalpak: Lockdown in the Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The only anniversary not worth celebrating. 1 year lockdown? Tapos wala pa ring usad? Our biggest problem during this pandemic was not the virus, but the government. 

Let me reiterate "The biggest problem during the pandemic is not the virus, but the government."

One year later with more than 600,000 caes and 5,000 new covid cases reported in A DAY.

We clamored for mass testing as early as March 2020 (it should have been earlier, anyare!? 

Endless lockdowns, late closing of borders, parties by high-ranking officials, compassion afforded to the rich and mighty but not to the working class, exploited HCWs... i could go on and on.

365 days quarantined.

No mass testing,

no research-based solutions,

no hazard pay for health workers,

no clear vaccination program,

but billions of dollars in debt.

Anyare?

Sad that we have to suffer and endure this much bc of the government's poor pandemic response.

What's even more frustrating is the fact that some people still applaud du/ter/te's leadership. 

So when he said change is coming, did he mean...this?

Ngayon lang ba natin narealize??????  There's 15b still missing, the country is in economic shambles, activists and journalists are being killed and incarcarated, and it's been almost a whole 365 days since the lockdown started. 

The government distributed Sinovac vaccines to our HCWs despite the lack of data on phase III clinical trials on efficacy and safety and peer-reviewed articles.

Other countries are now slowly reviving their economy. But in PH, we are now studying granular lockdowns because of the increasing number of COVID-19 cases.

We never flattened the curve.

Our vaccine roll-out is so insufficient and inefficient.

Government’s COVID-19 response is a failure.

Duterte’s leadership is undeniably a failure.

His incompetence and misplaced priorities is literally killing us.

Never again!

Elections matter. It's amazing what can happen when we elect people with political experience & empathy instead of social media trolls.
