The actress also tweeted about President Rodrigo Duterte’s previous speech regarding the undersupply of test kits for the novel coronavirus. It has been a hot topic on social media platforms as people found it hard to understand.
Mas maiintindihan ko pa kapag sinabi nya…
‘Itong kit kinimber-kimberlee. Tapos yung Bubonic plague chumenelyn. Tapos, chumururut yung Spanish flu. Kawawa ang mga tao. Umembey pa sa Middle East, sa Roman Empire….’
