Pinabulaanan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang diumano'y haka-haka na tumatanggap siya at ang mga Cabinet members ng pera. Aniya, “Maraming haka-haka riyan na kaming mga Cabinet members, ako, tumatanggap ng pera… look, I give you this guarantee.


Magdala ka lang ng tao at sabihin mong nagbigay siya ng piso sa amin, mag-resign ako bukas. “Just one person, one affidavit, walang imbento, ‘yung totoo na sinabi na may tinanggap kami na pera.


You just bring him to him or bring him before the public an announcement and if true, I will tender my resignation as president of this Republic. That is my gurantee to you. Basta totoo, do not lie.


‘Wag kang imbento, ‘wag kang mag-istorya, masama ‘yan. “Kung ganu’n, ikaw ang patayin ko. “You will destroy the name of a person or the Cabinet member. Kung meron kayong transaction, let me know.


As far as I’m concerned, they’re all honest at kung meron ka, sabihin mo in public and I will ask that Cabinet member to resign immediately. “Hindi maganda ‘yung haka-haka because it will destroy… sino pa ang maniniwala sa amin kung you keep on… ‘yung mga ganitong istorya.


“Ako, hindi lang sa public, in government, if there is anybody who can prove that I receive money from the Office of the President from the government, one peso more than my salary, re-resign din ako.


“Kung sumobra… I think my after tax… 200 ang suweldo ko… after tax, mga 193 yata… ‘pag sumobra ‘yan, kumuha ako ni piso, ‘pag sumobra ako, ganu’n din, I will resign.


“There’s no use of governing a country when people no longer believe in you kasi kung hindi na maniwala ang tao, wala na. You’re better off just enjoying your retirement. Kasi naman presidente ka, Cabinet member ka, matanda ka na…”

Muling ipinaalala ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang banta ng COVID-19 sa ating kalusugan sa kanyang national speech nitong Lunes lalo na sa mga pasaway sa health protocols.


Aniya, “Alam mo ang mga Amerikano, pareho rin sa Pilipino, hindi naniniwala ang iba at ang iba naman, they don’t really follow the social distance, the congregation of people, especially those nightgoers.


“Alam mo pagka sa mga ganu’n, madali talaga ang transmission, shouting and singing there with all the saliva flowing around. “Alam mo sa totoo lang, I would be the last person to deprive you of your freedom to move around but it is important that you should understand what we are trying to protect… who are the people we are trying to shield is… it is the contamination from you. Sa iyo nanggagaling kung nahawa ka, naipasa mo sa iba.


“Never mind about ‘yung iyo kung gusto mo. But the problem is, kagaya nu’ng asymptomatic, meron ka, andiyan ‘yung nag-hybernate ‘yung microbe and yet you do not feel anything because you are asymptomatic and hindi mo alam you pass it around because you don’t feel anything, you go around giving it to other people.


” Aniya pa, “If we are to really avoid the virus, government itself must provide for the curative… preventive… and one of those is really swabbing para malaman ka. Kung malaman ka, maraming mga hotel ngayon… for people who are suspected of having the virus.”


Saad din ng Pangulo, “Ang problema nito is ganito, ikaw naman, kung dalhin ka roon sa ospital, it’s kind of a morbid thing really for anybody. It could be traumatic. “To some people, staying in the hospital is really a horror thing because ‘yung iba, hindi naospital ni minsan sa buhay nila.


“So I leave it to the city government and we will talk about it later. “Itong mga hotel na bakante, tutal pagkatapos niyan, you can always decontaminate the rooms, we will do it for you. Arrange with the hotels na puwede mo munang gamitin lalo na sa panahong ito. To the owners of hotels, inns, motel maybe kung wala nang iba to accommodate the Filipinos who are in need of help.


“I will assume the full responsibility of paying you pagdating ng panahon. I will see to it that… I will ask Congress, I will plead sa kanila na hanapan ng paraan na bayaran kayo and I will personally see to it that you are paid on time. This will include siguro meals but simple lang kagaya rito.


I recommend the menu rito sa Malacañang. Dito, magkain ka, isang sabaw, isang ulam pati kanin. Hanggang diyan lang ang makuha mo rito na pagkain. “Pakiusap ko lang, tutal wala namang… they don’t have to worry about an afterward sa thing of a… itong hotel mo ma-contaminte. We will do the necessary protocol to decontaminate or to… whatever there is in the room. Madali lang naman ‘yan. Pagbigyan ninyo ‘yung mga kababayan natin.


“So ‘yung mga local governments are put to notice that they have directed you to make necessary arrangements with vacant hotels, motels na patirahin muna ninyo ‘yung mga COVID patients.


“Now, if the hotel is chosen or selected… let it be that way. ‘Wag na ninyong papasukan ng ibang healthy persons. That hotel remains to be a medical facility for those afflicted with COVID.”

Binanatan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang mga kritiko at binigyang-diin na walang gamot sa COVID-19 kundi ang vaccine.


Aniya, “Kayong mga critics ba na hindi na handle ng gobyerno, alam mo, may pagkaistupido talaga ninyo. Ang gamot lang… ang panlaban lang ng COVID-19 is wash your hand, tapos wear a mask and stay home.


‘Yan lang ang medisina riyan, hindi n’yo mabili sa mga botika ‘yan. Hindi mo mabili sa mga utak ninyo. But some writers, for reasons, nagsasabi na ‘Hindi.’ “Walang gamot diyan, nasa hangin ‘yan.


Walang ano niyan, usually ‘yan lang ang lumalabas, hugas ng kamay, keep clean, then wear a mask, then, stay home. “Ngayon, ‘yung stay home, ano ‘yan, it’s highly debatable.


You cannot insist on the theory that they will go out and they get COVID, but no… wala nang makain. Walang gamot, except the vaccine.”
