Duterte’s numbers would appear to paint a rosy picture of the country. The reality, however, is far from it. The period, however, saw a high increase of confirmed cases, with more than 3,000 to nearly 5,000 cases daily. The aid, initially dubbed social amelioration program, was so effective that it made Duterte get the highest increase, at 11%, from the poorest socio-economic sector – Class E. He got an increase of 2% from Class D, and a decrease of -1 from Class ABC or the wealthiest sector.
“People attribute the difficulties they experience to the pandemic rather than to the failure of the government. They probably think there are other countries who have it worse than the Philippines and it’s out of control of the government,” Tabunda said.of the pandemic did not help change this view.
