Vilma Santos Echoes Medical Frontliners Appeal
VILMA SANTOS – “Star For All Seasons” Vilma Santos-Recto sympathizes with the plight of COVID-19 frontliners.
Medical frontliners asked President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to reimpose “enhanced community quarantine” (ECQ) in Metro Manila in order to control the rapid rise of coronavirus cases. On Sunday, COVID-19 infections in the country breached the 100,000 mark.
Vice President Leni Robredo, the Catholic Church, and celebrities backed the call of healthcare workers for better strategies to fight COVID-19. In a late-night public address on Sunday, the chief executive gave in to the appeal of the frontliners.
Duterte placed Metro Manila and other nearby provinces under ‘modified enhanced community quarantine’ (MECQ). He said he understands their plight but resented them for going public with their appeal.
