Most of Roque’s pronouncements, whether official or made in jest, have always been subject to netizens’ sneers and jeers. Such was the case when Roque gave his opinion on whether “lugaw” is essential, referring to the case of the delivery food rider who was prevented from delivering the food to a barangay.
In some instances, even fellow government officials question Roque’s pronouncements. Several weeks ago, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte asked Roque how is it that the latter turned out COVID positive. The president asked this question during the weekly briefing with other Cabinet members online. Roque for his part said he does not know where he got the virus. PRRD then remarked that he senses no difference in the manner the Malacañang SPOX acts or speaks.
