This picture went viral after President Rodrigo Duterte scolded some of the frontliners for supposedly wanting a revolution and for allegedly demeaning the government amid the pandemic. Duterte also advised nurses who want a bigger salary to enter the police force.

Recently, President Duterte delivered his 5th State of the Nation Address. Among the topics he discussed were COVID-19 response, the West Philippine Sea, education, and telecommunication companies. His SONA received mixed reactions, with some critics saying that he was not able to lay out a detailed plan in battling the pandemic.

He also heeded the call of healthcare workers for the government to provide more help in their battle against COVID-19. President Rodrigo Duterte did so by reverting several cities and provinces back to a modified enhanced community quarantine. The President also approved the hiring of more health care workers amid the pandemic and the addition of more benefits to COVID-19 frontliners.
