Coronavirus (Covid-19) testing has always been the focus of the government, Malacañang said.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque made the comment following the statement of President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday that he just realized the importance of Covid-19 testing to prevent the spread of the virus.
Responding to criticisms that Duterte was too late in his realization that testing is an important part of the overall pandemic strategy, Roque said: “Hindi po totoo iyan. Sa mula’t-mula po ang ating prayoridad ay i-improve ang ating testing capacity.”
He also boasted that the Philippines now has the highest testing capacity in Asia.
“We’ve always given priority to testing. Nandiyan po si Vince Dizon as testing czar and we now have one of the highest testing capacities in the whole world,” said Roque.
