In his late address last night, President Rodrigo Duterte claimed he had warned everyone to prepare for the COVID-19 pandemic "at the start."

On Feb. 3, 2020, Duterte said "there is nothing really to be extra scared of" COVID-19.
As of April 6, 2020—two months after the president's statement—there are 3,660 cases in the country, including 163 deaths and 73 recoveries.

It has since been announced that the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon will be extended until April 30.
Also on Feb. 3, upon noting there was still just one death in the country from COVID-19, Duterte said that "everything is well in the country."

He also said the gov't is prepared to buy face masks though the supply has been depleted due to high demand.

#FlashbackFriday: As the confirmed cases of #COVID19PH in the country continue to rise, let's take a look back at the government's preparations for #COVID19PH, and what they are doing now.
Back in January 2020, when the deadly coronavirus started to spread in different countries, the Department of Health was quick to investigate suspected cases of COVID-19 in the country, while the Bureau of Quarantine was placed on high alert.

philstar.com/headlines/2020…
From our archives: In the same month, Muntinlupa Rep. Rozzano Rufino Biazon asked the Civil Aviation Authority to suspend direct flights from Wuhan, China to Kalibo Aklan, even though there was no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the country yet.
