Recently, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque broke his silence on his fist-pumping cheer going viral on social media. Based on a report on ABS-CBN News, he stressed that he was congratulating the people and not the government on the performance in dealing with COVID-19 pandemic.

“In the end, it’s the people who will determine how fast the disease will spread,” Roque said according to the report.

The Presidential Spokesman believes that it is best to encourage the people to beat the predictions regarding the COVID-19 cases in the country. According to him, it’s a “small victory” but it still indicates the possibility of winning over the pandemic.

“We are not as powerless as we think against the disease, even if there is no vaccine and there is no cure as of yet,” the Spokesman said.
