By Prince Golez

Malacañang on Wednesday welcomed the initiatives of Vice President Leni Robredo in the country’s fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.

All proactive steps to contain the disease are appreciated, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a statement.

“We are in no way diminishing her efforts in this trying time. Any contribution, including policy recommendations from the political opposition, to ensure the successful fight against the pandemic, is much appreciated,” added Roque.

The secretary also said they agreed with Robredo’s remark, in her “Ulat sa Bayan” speech on Tuesday that Filipinos came to each one’s rescue in these tough times.

“The Palace is one with the Vice President in her ‘Ulat sa Bayan’ message that in this challenging time of COVID-19, it is the Filipinos who helped and came to the rescue of fellow Filipinos,” according to him.

“In fact, in his last State of the Nation Address, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte personally paid tribute to Filipinos who have provided essential health services, have made our food chain supply running, have boosted economic activity, and have ensured peace and order in our communities during this pandemic,” he noted.

Roque likewise reiterated the need for everyone to “focus on Covid-19” and help the national government achieve population protection against Covid-19 “so together, we will recover and have a happy Christmas and a better future for all Filipinos.”
