MANILA - An adviser to President Rodrigo Duterte apologized to doctors and medical frontliners on Wednesday after accusing them of "doing nothing" for the country amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I apologize if my words were perceived to criticize doctors in general. I hope we will be united in our efforts. With this, I extend my deepest thanks to all frontliners that continue to go beyond the call of duty for our people. We can and we will heal as one." He added: “Problema nitong mga doctor, salita nang salita, wala namang ginagawa. Complain nang complain. Ang mangyari dito kung magsasarado ulit yung ekonomiya ng Pilipinas? Maraming mawawalan ng trabaho. Ang dami 'yan."
"This virus has brought a devastating blow to the physical and financial health of our nation. And we must work together to save both."
