Press Release March 13, 2021 Lacson: Gov't Should be Open to Criticism, Private Sector Efforts on Year Two of COVID Response As it faces more challenges in the second year of its response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the government should be more open to constructive criticism as well as the efforts of the private sector, Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson said Saturday. Lacson also said the government should evaluate the actions it has taken so far and sustain the strengths while addressing the weaknesses of its response. "Now is the time for an evaluation, what the government did right and what it did wrong," he said in an interview on DWIZ radio.
