Roque apologizes for emotional outburst against doctors

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque apologized on Friday for his emotional outburst during an Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) meeting against medical professionals who advocated for a hard lockdown in Metro Manila.

Roque admitted to becoming emotional after Dr. Maricar Limpin and Dr. Antonio Dans proposed extending the hard lockdown due to rising COVID-19 cases.

"Kinukumpirma ko po na tayo'y naging emosyonal at pasensiya naman po kayo at tao lamang," he said, expressing regret for his behavior but not backing down from his stance.
