Answer:
Vice President Leni Robredo told President Rodrigo Duterte’s government to drop the propaganda and focus on fixing its pandemic response after the Philippine economy suffered its worst post-war slump.
The Vice President said on Sunday, January 31, that the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) falling by 9.5% in 2020 is concrete proof that the Duterte administration is still not doing enough to offset the effects of the coronavirus crisis.
“So sa akin, dapat sana ‘yung response, ‘wag na tayo sa propaganda. ‘Yung response dapat tinutugunan papaano mare-resolve nang mas maaga. Kasi kapag mas matagal ‘yung ganito, mas marami tayong mga kababayan na maghihirap,” Robredo said in her radio show Biserbisyong Leni with broadcaster Ely Saludar.
(So for me, enough with the propaganda. The response should be about resolving this as early as possible. Because the longer we are in this situation, more of our countrymen will suffer.)
