Pangilinan, president of the Liberal Party (LP), issued the statement when queried by Senate reporters on whether he favors a planned reimposition of curfews to reduce coronavirus disease (COVID-19) infections.
‘’No, I am not. As we have seen this past year since the first lockdown last March 2020, that the restriction of movement including checkpoints, arrests of quarantine violators are all ineffective without the needed nationwide testing, contact tracing and isolation,’’ he said.
‘’What we need are the caring hands of doctors, nurses and healthcare workers not the iron fists of the PNP (Philippine National Police),’’ he added.
Opposition Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan on Tuesday said social media sites should be able to immediately takedown cases of sexual abuse and exploitation online instead of simply relying on users’ reports.
Opposition Senator Francis ‘’Kiko’’ Pangilinan, president of the 75-year-old Liberal Party (LP), issued the statement in response to President Duterte’s rants against Robredo on the COVID-19 issue.
