Pangilinan: Replace Duque, other heads of Covid-19 task forces

SENATOR Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan once again called for the resignation of Department of Health Secretary Francisco Duque III after the country's coronavirus disease cases breached the 250,000 mark on Friday, September 11.“Problema ang leadership. Ano ang solusyon sa problema ng leadership? Palitan si Duque at mga nakapaligid dito at ilagay ang mahuhusay na public health experts,” he said.

He recommended Philippine General Hospital Director Gap Legaspi and former DOH secretaries Manuel Dayrit or Esperanza Cabral. "Maraming magagaling na eksperto na mga doktor sa bansa. Kaya natin talunin ang Covid-19 basta mahusay ang in charge," he added. “Kung karera ang kampanya laban sa Covid-19, ang ibang bansa sa Asya tulad ng Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan, at South Korea ay tumatakbo nang mabilis patungo sa finish line, habang ang Pilipinas gumagapang sa pagkakulelat,” Pangilinan said.
