AKSIYON Demokratiko presidential bet Manila Mayor Isko Moreno Domagoso said President Rodrigo Duterte should be given credit for the successes of the country’s COVID-19 response.
In an interview during his listening tour in Bulacan earlier today, Domagoso said the national government’s recent vaccination drive is worth commending, despite the widespread confusion that marred the government’s initial pandemic response.
“Pangamba at takot sa impeksyon, pangamba at takot sa hanapbuhay, dahil dito, nagdulot ito ng konting pagkakalito But life must go on. We give credit where credit is due,” he said.
“Totoo naman kapuri-puri yung ginawa ni Pangulong Duterte at ng IATF, kung saan yung mga lokal na pamahalaan na nabakunahan na namin. Lahat tumulong naman sa probinsya, which ginawa namin,” he added.
The massive vaccination drive from November 29 to December 1 was launched amidst the emergence of the new Omicron variant.
More than five million individuals received COVID-19 jabs during the said vaccination drive, according to the Department of Health.
While the current administration may not have been perfect, Domagoso said President Duterte listens to the public and corrects the mistakes of the people working under him.
“May mga bagay na di perpekto. Pero as long as nakikinig yung leader doon sa talbog o pagkakadapa ng kanyang mga tao at ikinocorrect naman niya, that’s what you call learning the lesson and moving forward,” he said.
