MANILA - President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday lamented that he had to place majority of the country's population under quarantine to stop the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 , saying that is a "cruel action" by the government.
"Konting tiis lang, sabi dito. Konting tiis nga. Ako mismo, sabi ko sa'yo...Ang masakit sa akin, ang nagbawal sa akin mag-land, ang anak ko," he said. "So sa panahong ito, kung ano 'yung pinapairal nila na batas, wala akong magawa, because they're trying also to protect the people of Davao City," he said.
"I have to admit it. This thing about sequestration or quarantine is a cruel, it's a cruel action by the government. Hindi madali ito. Pati ako nasasaktan," he said.
