PRESIDENT DUTERTE HAS ABANDONED US.
FITCH'S NEGATIVE CREDIT RATING OUTLOOK is the direct result of Duterte's political leadership that has lost touch with the everyday realities of our suffering people.
FITCH'S NEGATIVE CREDIT RATING OUTLOOK is the direct result of Duterte's political leadership that has lost touch with the everyday realities of our suffering people.
1/ President Duterte and his top appointed officials have failed to listen and learn from their deadly blunders which caused this negative outlook.
Duterte's deadliest blunder is a 2021 budget that has set us up to fail in managing this pandemic.

2/ Duterte's 2021 budget is a budget that kills. Duterte put pork barrel and bullets first, and has given very little cash aid to families to encourage people to test, trace, isolate, treat, and prevent COVID-19 surges.
3/ Ang laki-laki ng P4.5 trillion budget: Pero inuna ni Duterte ang pork barrel at bala. Kinalimutan ni Duterte ang ayuda para sa pamilya laban sa covid.
4/ Duterte's blunder is so terrible that it is harming millions of lives. We feel this in the provinces: many of my loved ones have gotten sick or died. My loved ones are still in danger.
5/ As a volunteer desperately trying to help my city manage our surge, I witness every day the sacrifices of our front liners.
I see reports of infection and death.
These are friends, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers.
These are real people.
These are people I love.

6/ By failing to #ExtendBayanihan2 and failing to call for an special session to debate and #PassBayanihan3 as his officials pass the buck:
Duterte has abandoned us.
Duterte has abandoned us.
7/ Duterte has abandoned our health care workers in hospitals and facilities, especially in the provinces where we are having a hard time handling new patients.
8/ Duterte has abandoned families in need as they go on isolation.
Duterte has abandoned small and medium enterprises and creative workers who should have gotten cash relief but did not.

9/ Duterte has abandoned our transport workers and has denied them their just compensation through service contracts - this even after closing many of them down last year.
Duterte has abandoned our commuters who want to go home safe: who need safe, sufficient, stable transport.

10/ Duterte has abandoned local government leaders in poorer areas who do not have the resources to aid families under lockdown.
Duterte has abandoned tracing teams by allowing the contact tracing budget to expire.
Duterte has abandoned tracing teams by allowing the contact tracing budget to expire.
11/ Duterte has abandoned our teachers and students who should have gotten scholarships and allowances and digital learning services from Bayanihan 2.
12/ Duterte has abandoned our people's movements who have tried our best to reach out to all possible government agencies to prevent these blunders, but were greeted by irresponsible buck-passing and bureaucratic foot-dragging.
13/ Aside from this budget blunder, Duterte has abandoned regions like the Bangsamoro, Soccsksargen, and Bicol that, because of inequitable distribution, have been given very few vaccines. This vaccine inequity kills.
14/ Sabihan nating si Pangulong Digong ay tatay at tayo ang kanyang anak. Si Tatay Digong, pinabayaan tayong mga anak na may sakit na magdusa at mamatay, kahit marami siyang perang panustos at panggamot.
15/ Inuuna ni Tatay Digong na mamulitika, kaysa hayaang magtulung-tulungan ang iba't ibang kampo. Hindi siya nakikinig. Hindi siya humihingi ng tulong. Ang tingin siguro ni Tatay Digong sila lang ang magaling.
16/ President Duterte:
Your pride is killing us.
Please listen.
Please set aside your politics of division.
Please allow leaders across the political spectrum to help you.
Please be humble enough ask for help.
Please do not leave us to die.
Please stop killing us.
