Roque defends reversals on face shield policy: ‘Wala pong mali mag flip-flop’

By Prince Golez

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque sees nothing wrong with flip-flopping policies on face shield and on the resumption of face-to-face classes.

Roque made the statement a day after President Rodrigo Duterte took back his earlier order lifting the mandatory wearing of face shields outdoors and opposed the proposal of the Department of Education to hold limited face-to-face classes in areas with few Covid-19 cases.

“Wala pong mali mag flip-flop kung meron kasing supervening events,” the Palace official said during his televised briefing Tuesday.

“Kaya nga po tayo nag ‘flip-flop’ kasi meron namang Delta variant. Kaya po tayo nagkaroon ng surge kasi nagkaroon tayo ng Alpha variant. So depende kung ano ang nadidiskubre ng siyensya. Kinakailangan marunong tayo mag adapt,” he added.

Last week, Duterte agreed that face shields should only be worn inside hospitals.

The government’s Covid-19 task force, however, recommended the continued mandatory use of face shields in enclosed public spaces such as hospitals, schools, workplaces and commercial establishments.
