CDC PH Calls for Lifting of the Lockdowns by May 2021
April 27, 2021

We have not forgotten that the WHO itself appealed to world leaders to use lockdowns only as a last resort because of the poverty and destruction it wreaks upon the lives and livelihoods of the poorest of the poor. And yet all the Government has ever offered us is variations on the type of lockdown while never presenting any truly sensible options that would keep healthy Filipinos working and our economy moving.
While our nation’s decision-makers sitting in their air-conditioned offices continue to regularly draw their salaries, the situation is the polar opposite for Juan de la Cruz. After 13 months of endless lockdowns, millions of jobs are gone and thousands of businesses have closed or will be closing forever if businessmen see that there is no hope that this Government will ever find the desire to end our misery. For seven long months now, CDC Ph has been pleading with Government to consider our Focused Protection Plan which would present hope and the chance at a better future for Filipinos instead of more restrictions and the continuing paralysis of thinking which is all we have seen from our uninspired and uninspiring DOH, FDA and DILG....
