MANILA - Health Sec. Francisco Duque III on Thursday said the Philippine government's decision to include Taiwan in the travel ban is due to public health and safety concerns over the COVID-19 disease."It's public health. Ang iinvoke ko diyan lagi, the Inter-Agency Task Force invokes public health and safety. No political considerations, whatsoever," he said.
"Inaantay natin. Hopefully, tomorrow wala pa rin silang local transmission, kasi 'yung local transmission, mabilis din eh," Duque said. Since the situation is fluid, Duque said the subject of the travel ban on Taiwan is "is subject to periodic reassessment."President Rodrigo Duterte ordered the inclusion of Taiwan in the travel ban due to confirmed cases of the COVID-19 disease there, his spokesman Salvador Panelo said as he denied that the decision was because of the Philippines’ “One-China Policy.”
Taiwan is an independently governed territory but the Philippines considers it part of China under the one-China policy.
Didnt know Duque is a lying doctor.
Not political huh? Abs feb 10 -Like other countries, the Philippines follows the “One-China policy,” which considers Republic of China-controlled Taiwan as part of the People’s Republic of China. They should have known that taiwan does recognize china sovereignty
Yung ibang mga bansa na mas mataas ang number of cases kaysa sa Taiwan bakit di niyo isama sa ban?
Public health? Then include singapore, thailand, vietnam , malaysia on the list
An attempt to buy time.
Parang mali diagnosis ni Dr Duque....Japan and Singapore ay mas mataas ang bilang ng cases.... ...accept na lang kc na political ung reason ng ban sa Taiwan. ...wala na ba talaga honest sa Duts admin...INTEGRITY please.
Ang Singapore mas maraming cases kaysa Taiwan pero walang travel ban..
the eff.. wala nang maniniwala sa mga doctor
