Sharon Cuneta to gov't: 'Please tell us the truth!'
Megastar Sharon Cuneta questioned the statement of presidential spokesman Harry Roque who claimed that the government's response to COVID-19 is working despite the rising number of cases in the country.
"Sir, what is working? We see the numbers rise everyday. The hospitals are overflowing with COVID-19 patients like never before. We still don't have enough test kits. The government, sir, has not been managing this health crisis effectively. Surely the health of all Filipinos," said Cuneta on Twitter July 19.
"Amidst this global pandemic should have taken priority over things like the Anti-Terrorism Bill, the hearings and eventual denial of the franchise renewal of ABS-CBN, and the idea of renaming NAIA. Now?!!!" she added.
Cuneta made a plea to the government to tell the truth.
"Our attention can no longer be diverted from COVID-19 by ANYTHING else our leaders may think up next. Please, save our people first! And for crying out loud, since so many people believe in you, please just tell us the TRUTH!" she said.
Twitter fans thanked Cuneta for lending a strong voice in the fight against the health crisis.
On Friday, July 17, Roque said that the government response to COVID-19 is working despite the increasing number of cases everyday.
As of July 19, the total number of COVID-19 cases has gone up to more than 67,000.
Experts predict that the number of COVID-19 cases could reach 80,000 by end of August. - Robert Requintina
