PRESIDENT RODRIGO DUTERTE ADDRESSING THE PHILIPPINES
#OursDuterte: President Rodrigo Roa Duterte addressed the nation tonight, May 28, 2020.
1. Magandang gabi sa inyo. Nandito kami para malaman ninyo ang mga polisiya na ginagawa namin. Ang ginagawa namin because the situation demands for it. To see to it that the Republic is well guarded. The welfare of the People is the highest concern.
2. Itong Landbank, you can borrow money to finance the education of your children. We are hard pressed in our finances but we have to place premium on our education. Landbank is there to help you. Dito ako interesado. I want the development of this endeavor, gusto ko malaman na matutupad. I will require a report everyday.
3. The NCR will be now be placed under the GENERAL COMMUNITY QUARANTINE (GCQ) starting June 1.
4. Davao City will remain under GCQ.
5. The regions under GCQ will be 2, 3, 4A, Pangasinan, and Albay.
6. The REST OF THE COUNTRY will be placed under MODIFIED GENERAL COMMUNITY QUARANTINE (MGCQ).
7. Let me appeal to the landlords, owners of malls, big buildings - when you collect from someone who is not earning. That is practically flogging a dead horse. Just pray that the vaccine, target ng China is September - they will be one of the first countries to come up with a vaccine. This should be addressed by the DTI. Ako nakikiusap, nagmamakaawa.
8. Let us help one another. If it does not spell bankruptcy, tiisin na lang muna natin. Baka sakali makatulong ang appeal ng Gobyerno.
9. Remember, the entire nation is still under quarantine. Let us move to the so-called new normal.
10. The State has every right to stop the movement, to stop the contagion. But for you to pass the virus to the other guy, that is where the right of the State to come in. To prevent the mass contagion, gusto namin putulin kung saan kelangan. This is the reason for the police powers of the State - public safety, public welfare, public interest. To avoid a state of anarchy, the State has the right to come in. It is the survival of the Republic of the Philippines.
11. We are a country of laws. We obey the law.
