What a terrible terrible video from the Department of Tourism, using With A Smile as theme, showing images of our healthcare workers, in a supposedly heartwarming montage of Filipino resilience. P*tangina nakakagalit. #DutertesPeople (A Thread)
NO. We are not going to get by with a little prayer and a song. NO. We are not going to "smile as one." NO. This is NOT about resilience.
This is about government incompetence. This is about Duterte violence. #Covid19
This is about government incompetence. This is about Duterte violence. #Covid19
This is about private initiatives that feed the poor being shut down by Duterte's men. This is about the poor being rounded up when they demand for food. This is about P275-billion pesos being put in the hands of Duterte's men. #Covid19
This is about the lack of transparency. This is about the lack of accountability. This is about a government with no clear and concrete plan for our healthcare workers who are risking their lives every day to fight this virus. #Covid19
This is about a government that refuses to address a public health crisis with a data- and science-based response.
This crisis is ALL ON DUTERTE. Every death, Covid-19 related and otherwise, is on this government.
This crisis is ALL ON DUTERTE. Every death, Covid-19 related and otherwise, is on this government.
Giving us a pretty video with heartwarming images, is just part of changing this narrative, bringing us together under one umbrella of resilience. NO. The people are moving as if we have no government. YOU DO NOT GET TO CLAIM OUR BAYANIHAN AS YOURS. #Covid19
