Vice President Leni Robredo on Monday night accused the Duterte administration of having no clear direction as the country grapples with the impact on Filipinos of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a 20-minute speech, Robredo also raised the issue of confidence amid the national health emergency as the government officials faced allegations of corruption from overpriced PPEs to billions of pesos in questionable cash advances to hospitals.
“Let me emphasize: Confidence keeps the economy rolling. And the truth is, even before the pandemic, our economy could not reach its full potential because of lack of confidence. . . .This is why, especially now that we are grappling with a pandemic, the last thing that we need is even more instances that erode confidence,” she said.
