While I expressed disappointment towards some members of my team, I acknowledge that this is still my responsibility as SOH. I will make sure that we comply with the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act, with proper documentation and identification of HCWs.“While I expressed disappointment towards some members of my team, I acknowledge that this is still my responsibility as SOH ,” Duque said in a tweet.
While he did not specify who among the DOH officials will be punished, Duterte appeared to have spared Duque from the blame, noting that the health chief cannot do his own errands. “I said just like me you cannot run your own errands… That’s why it’s called ‘you cannot run your own errands’. Somebody has to do it for you because you cannot really do it beyond human comprehension,” he said.to release the compensation to health workers.
