President Duterte was a pathetic figure last Sunday during his televised response to the appeal of health workers for a “time out” to assess the government’s strategy in dealing with the Covid-19 crisis which they said was “failing miserably.”
Past midnight,he sounded like a broken record as he again professed for more than an hour his love for China and the vaccine that he said President Xi Jinping promised the Philippines will be given priority to buy, his faith on the uniformed personnel, his trust on Health Secretary Francisco Duque III, and a few more topics that he has narrated ad nauseam in the past.
It was painful listening to him because it was clear he didn’t get what the health workers were saying in a clearly worded appeal read by Philippine Medical Association (PMA) president Dr. Jose Santiago during an online press conference headed by the Philippine College of Physicians (PCP) on Saturday.
