“Hindi po natutulog sa pansitan ang administrasyong Duterte,' Roque said. | CMarquezINQ
He also cited the launching of StaySafe.ph app in Manila, which uses an online platform to find close contacts of positive patients.
“Dito sa siyudad ng Maynila kung saan ako pinanganak, game changer na rin po ang ginagawa natin ngayon dahil sa pamamagitan ng Safe.ph, ginagamit natin ang teknolohiya para malaman natin kung sino dapat i-isolate. Kung sino dapat i-trace,” he said. Roque then took a swipe at critics, saying they are just “jealous.” To underscore his point, he looked back to the public uproar against the Aquino administration for lapses in responding to areas affected by Super Typhoon Yolanda in 2013.
“Ito po yung mga hakbang na nagpapakita na hindi totoo ang sinasabi ng mga kritiko ng Duterte administration. Inggit lang po sila dahil nung sila nakaupo sa pwesto tignan niyo kung ano ang ginawa nila, doon po sa Visayas nang dumaan po ang Bagyong Yolanda,” the Palace official said. “Hindi po natutulog sa pansitan ang administrasyong Duterte. Ngayon po sa araw na ito magsisimula na tayo ng teknolohiya para lalong mapaigting ang ating contact tracing sa ilaim ng tracing czar mayor Benjie Magalong,” he added.To date, the Philippines logged a total of 226,440 confirmed COVID-19 cases with 158,610 recoveries and 3,623 deaths.
