All people can think of nowadays is the coronavirus disease 2019 health pandemic, but somehow, the Dengvaxia controversy resurfaced on people’s minds as Iloilo Rep. Janette Garin, formerly the country’s Health Secretary, trended on Twitter.Netizens could not understand Rep. Garin’s purported statement that steps were being taken by the government to ensure that 11,000 workers of ABS-CBN will not lose their jobs in case the House of Representatives does not approve the renewal of its franchise.
A video clip went around on Twitter with Garin saying: “If you can prove in that interview that I did apologize for the Dengvaxia Program, I will immediately resign from Congress.” Netizens lambasted Garin for her statements. “We know this isn’t true. Why is it so easy for these officials to lie? Maybe it really is in their core. Garin, you just wanted to silence ABS-CBN because of a personal grudge. Hope your constituents vote better next time,” tweeted @serendiPT13.
@indayevarona called her “tanga ” for voting against the franchise renewal. “The government couldn’t even feed everyone who lost jobs and livelihood during the lockdown; had barely started giving out aid to those already included in record unemployment and you believed THIS?! That’s called willful ignorance.”
