President Rodrigo Duterte was still in the middle of making a big decision, either to lift or extend the Enhanced Community Quarantine in Luzon. Senator Manny Pacquiao shared it to people. That is maybe considered as one of the hardest decision that leaders do. If he will not lift the lockdown, many people will suffer from starvation. No work, followed by no pay. Lockdown affects the Philippine economy. However, if he lift it early, there will be a greater possibility of spreading the virus rapidly. People can go anywhere and back to the natural way of living.
Senator Manny’s Statement
“Ang ating presidente ngayon ay naiipit sa dalawang malaking decision. Una kung itutuloy ba ang lockdown kung saan maraming maaaring magutom sa kawalan ng trabaho o ang alisin na ang lockdown kung saan pwedeng maraming mawalang buhay,” Senator Pacquiao stated. “Isa lang po ang aming pakiusap, samahan po natin ang ating presidente upang labanan ang epidemya na ito. Sumunod po tayong lahat,” he added.
The Senator admitted that if he is to decide, he prefers to extend the ECQ mass testing was not still done yet.
“Pero for my personal opinion hangang hindi nagkakaroon ng mass testing sa mga kababayan natin mas makakabuti na ma- extend pa ito ng konti para sa safety ng ating mga kababayan,” he cleared. “Ang pera kikitain pa pero ang buhay hindi na natin maibabalik kapag nawala. Sana po gabayan siya ng diyos sa kanilang magiging decision,” he added.
“Para po sa mga taong nakakaangat, ngayon ang panahon para tulungan natin kahit sa simpleng bagay ang ating mga kapitbahay o ka barangay,” Manny added.
He believes that having Enhanced Community Quarantine decreases the possibility of spreading the virus rapidly.
Senator Manny Pacquiao asked wealthy people once more to send help for the needy. In times of crisis, Filipino will fight it together.
