GOODBYE, SENATE! – Leaked video of Harry Roque shouting at doctors goes viral

“We employed the ‘entire government approach’ thinking about economic ramifications, thinking about the people [who] will go hungry. It does not mean that we care any less,” a visibly agitated Roque further said. The presidential loudmouth also claimed that Limpin’s organization has “never said anything good about the government response.”

In an interview with online news site Rappler, Limpin said that she and her fellow medical experts asked the government to keep places with high COVID-19 transmission rates under enhanced community quarantine during the meeting. “I could not think of anything in what I said that would appear arrogant. I just stated the facts – which is the state of healthcare system at this particular time of the pandemic,” she added.

Roque has been receiving near-universal condemnation for his arrogance towards the doctors. Dr. Tony Leachon, a former special adviser to the National Task Force Against COVID-19, said about Roque: “He knows nothing; and he thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career rather than public service. Arrogance is in everything you do. It is in your gestures, the harshness of your voice, and in your distorted thinking process. Failed leadership.”
