Who’s really leading us to perdition?

WHILE President Rodrigo Duterte boasts of having “bright” people in his Cabinet and assures that his administration is “busy doing everything” to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, he also warns that “many more will die” and that the solution to the Covid-19 problem is beyond his control.

“Nandiyan ang bakuna, hindi sa ating kamay . . . sa kamay ng ibang tao. (The vaccines are there, out of our hands . . . in the hands of other people). And this will go, I think, before it gets better, we’ll have to go to the worst of times,” he said in his last “Talk to the People” briefing last Friday.
