In his letter, Mayor Richard Gomez asked Pres. Rodrigo Roa Duterte about the in-charge of the “Hatid Tulong” program which led to a huge number of people at Rizal Memorial Coliseum. He believes the in-charge does not know what he is doing citing that social distancing’s not observed for more than two (2) days already.
