MANILA – Gindayaw ni former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo ang kahandaan ni Presidente Rodrigo Duterte nga magpatuman sang “madasig nga mga akto” sa pihak sang ginaangkon nga mga pagpakamalaot sa coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) response sang Pilipinas.
Sa iya address sa mga mamalidha sa House Economic Affairs Committee, ginpahayag ni Arroyo nga maayo ang performance sang pungsod kun COVID-19 fight ang pagahambalan.
Pahayag sang anay presidente: “The first case of COVID-19 was in November of 2019. Now, 7 months later, the global picture for COVID-19 is emerging. As the results now show, I think that we can hold our heads up high given our country’s performance.”
Ginpahayag man ni Arroyo nga lain ang sitwasyon kun ang isa ka tawo ang nagadumala sa isa ka lugar nga nagasuprer sang pandemya samtang lain naman ang sitwasyon sang mga nagapakamalaot lang.
“It’s easy to criticize when you are seated on the sidelines, but when you are the actual gladiator in the arena, the perspective is very different.”
“Highest respect” naman suno kay Arroyo ang iya ginahatag kay Duterte, sa National Inter-Agency Task Force, kag sa tanan nga nagapangbudlay kadungan sang COVID-19 fight.
“From the perspective of someone who was heading our government during the SARS crisis, I must say that I have nothing but the highest respect for all of those in our government who are now battling in the arena, from President Duterte, to Secretary Carlito Galvez of the Interagency Task Force, to Health Secretary Francisco Duque, to each and every front liner in the trenches and the checkpoints, many of whom have given their lives in this fight,” dugang pa sang anay presidente.
