President Rodrigo Duterte told Health Secretary Francisco Duque III not to feel discouraged by the “brickbats” that come his way.
Duque has been widely criticised for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic. He’s refused to step down amid several calls for resignation over his alleged poor performance in response to the health crisis.
Si Secretary Duque naman, eh palagi nilang inaaway pero tama naman. Pero ganoon siguro ‘yang public office, Secretary. Do not be… discouraged from the brickbats thrown against you,” Duterte said during his televised address Monday.
The Chief Executive claimed that critics paint Duque black so they will appear white.
“All of you there have been painting Duque black because… you want to appear white there. If you want to appear white, then paint your opponent black and then you are always white. Ganoon ‘yan,” he added.
