Senator Imee Marcos would rather that the government prioritize the resumption of face-to-face classes over allowing cinemas and gaming arcades to reopen.
Marcos questioned the wisdom of the decision of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) to allow places of leisure to reopen in areas under general community quarantine (GCQ) amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Tatalino kaya ang mga batang Pilipino? Kung ang tanging matututunan na lang nila ay manood ng sine at ang paglalaro ng games sa mga arcade?!” she asked in a statement Monday (February 15).
“Kung ibubukas pala ang mga sinehan at palaruan, dapat munang unahin ang pagbabalik ng mga estudyante sa face-to-face classes na inoobserbahan ang maximum health protocols,” she said.
Malacanang announced earlier in the day that the reopening of cinemas in GCQ areas has been deferred to March pending the release of guidelines on COVID-19 safety protocols.
Several Metro Manila mayors have opposed the reopening of movie theaters in the region, saying it could lead to a spike in COVID-19 cases.
