Trillanes: "Nauna siyang Magpabakuna, Walang Malasakit sa Tao si Duterte!’

Before the end of 2020, President Rodrigo Duterte revealed that some members of the army have been vaccinated against coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19). According to the President, the military and police should be vaccinated because he do not want them to get sick.

“Sumasakit ‘yung ulo ng iba, hindi ako. Halos lahat ng sundalo natusukan na… I have to be frank and I have to tell the truth. I will not foist a lie. Marami nang nagpatusok and lahat. Up to now, wala akong narinig sa — for the select few — not all soldiers, not all soldiers, hindi pa kasi policy eh. If it’s a policy now to have them injected with… Pero gusto ko mauna sila because I do not want a sickly Armed Forces and a sickly police. The reason why is that they have to be in good health all the time because they are responsible for the law and order of this country.” said President Duterte.

 

“Walang malasakit.” This is how former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV described Pres. Duterte because he believes the Chief Executive has been vaccinated. It will be recalled that Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said that based on his knowledge, the President has not been vaccinated.

 

After the President's revelation, ex-rebel and former Senator Antonio Trillanes reacted. According to Trillanes, President Duterte was the first to be vaccinated and said he did not care about the people.

“Si Duterte mismo ang naunang nagpa-vaccine, hindi lang mga cabinet secretaries and legislators. Wala talagang malasakit itong mga ‘to sa mga pinamumunuan nila.” said Trillanes.

Some of our netizens did not like Trillanes' criticism against the President. Read some of their reactions:
