VP Robredo presents detailed pandemic plans amid rising cases

Vice President Leni Robredo presented detailed proposals to address the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing concrete actions beyond waiting for a vaccine.

Robredo supported the approval of a P1.3 trillion stimulus plan and highlighted that the country's confirmed cases surpassed 85,000, more than China’s total.

President Duterte delivered his State of the Nation Address (SONA) amid rising concerns over the government's handling of the pandemic, with senators calling for an audit of COVID-19 funds.

The number of confirmed cases in the country exceeded 80,000, raising questions about the effectiveness of the government’s 'militaristic' approach to lockdowns and its impact on public health.
