Dr. Tony Leachon, Special Adviser to the National Task Force on COVID-19, expressed disappointment at the Department of Health, as it continues to present delayed data on the country's cases

"Forgive me, I think the lead agency has lost focus in everything. Risk communication, priorities, data management and execution of all plans," he tweeted.

He added further that the task force needs"real time" information on the situation in order to come up with sound decisions.

Di lang naman DOH ang nakakahiya. Buong gobyerno palpak. Puro payaso pala

DOH was like that right from the start of this pandemic.. dinuduktor ang data..

Focusing on daily number of cases is for a hospital to track its hospital bed capacity, national response is more than that i.e. speed of isolating cases, proportion of cases arising from quarantined individuals, number of HCWs infections, number of unlinked infections, etc

What will you expect from the current health secretary who changed his mind about lockdowns a day after he announced we don't need quarantine, said that we're alrd in the 2nd wave, masks not really needed, new cases are the fad and not old cases, PH cases flatlining alrd

Daanin nyo na lang sa survey kasi

When the street workers are eating rats and cats to survive, its the governments time to step up and take a civil action to protect the people from sickness in a pandemic a state of crisis!

In addition, the medical staff, official workers and all who elected the President should have a affordable care act to take care of their families during this pandemic.

No one should be dying in the streets of the capital or starving! Does the government know what its like to starve or go without? I didn't think so. The government should be handing out the millions of PPE to the citizens not hording it for their own gains and greed!

The Department of Health has a dedicated and accountable responsibility to the people of the Philippine islands. How dare they, deny care due to the pandemic of the the islands? This is a governmental responsibility. It has caused a severe dent in the economies worldly!

The Philippine government should take a standing responsibility to cover all costs related to the COVID 19 cases for people with or without insurance to flatten the numbers of the infected citizens throughout the country. This is a leadership issue!👨‍🎓👩‍✈️

Naku pakulang pansin na naman si doc.

Sya ba yung kasama ni Dr Acosta err atty pala sa dengvaxia? 🤔

One of the saner people in government. Too bad he is not given the same latitude as the rest. Sayang

Tell that to the president who supports Duque 100%
