President Rodrigo Duterte has made it crystal clear that his trust in Health Secretary Francisco Duque III to lead the administration’s war against COVID-19 is rock solid.
Duterte reiterated his unwavering trust in Duque two weeks after majority of the Senate asked for the head of Duque for his gross ineptitude in handling the COVID pandemic.
“Gusto ko lang malaman ng lahat na ang secretary ng Department of Health ay si Secretary Duque. And this government, my government, my department, will be guided by what Secretary Duque would tell us to do. I will listen to the conflicting claims. But in the end, it is the Secretary of Health who decides. Your word is the law here,” said Duterte in a briefing.
Duterte assured Duque that he was fully satisfied with the Secretary’s efforts and decision-making despite bearing the brunt of the criticisms.
“I know that overworked kayong lahat especially harried masyado ‘yung ano mo Secretary Duque, but that is the price of public service. You are crucified, you are — lahat na — criticized severely. But in the end, when you retire or even for the day you sleep and if you think that what you did for the country, medyo ano ka na, kampante ka na,” said Duterte.
Duque, who was with the President during the briefing, replied: “Thank you, sir.”
