MANILA - In his first public Mass after recovering from the coronavirus disease 2019 , Archdiocese of Manila apostolic administrator Bishop Broderick Pabillo said Sunday that the soaring virus cases i
n the country is not just because of people violating quarantine measures, but due to the decisions and policies of authorities as well.
"Nakakalungkot pa, walang pinapakitang kapani-paniwalang paraan ang ating gobyerno para sugpuin ang health and economic issues na ito. Sa halip, inaarangkada sa Kongreso at sa Senado ang pagpasa ng death penalty," he said. Pabillo revealed last July 23 that he tested positive for the new coronavirus. Following a second swab test last week, he was declared COVID-19-free.
Metro Manila and its four neighboring provinces were placed under a two-week stricter lockdown starting Aug. 4 as cases have risen following the earlier easing of quarantine measures.
