MANILA - Vice President Leni Robredo said Sunday she expects President Rodrigo Duterte to present his plan on how the Philippines will battle the continuous surge of COVID-19 cases and its recovery fr
om the pandemic.
"Pero siyempre, inaasahan din natin mag-report kung anong nangyari during the past year. Kasi ganoon naman iyong SONA, ire-report mo iyong nakaraan, ihahayag mo iyong para sa susunod na taon," the Vice President added. Robredo cited a University of the Philippines study which projected that the Philippines might reach 130,000 cases of COVID-19 by the end of August.
"Tayo ay sinusubukan natin bumalik sa normal, pero hanggang tumataas iyong kaso, mahihirapan tayong bumalik. So kahit anong gawin ng economic managers na buksan ulit iyong ekonomiya—na dapat naman—hanggang hindi natin nahihinto iyong ganitong pagtaas, mahihirapan tayo kasi iyong tao parating takot."
