After the revelation that the Philippines had its first confirmed case of Novel Coronavirus, netizens raged against the government for its incompetence in handling the serious outbreak.
Social media platforms became an outlet for netizens to express their anger with the government especially since the first case was discovered late.
Staunch Duterte critic Agot Isidro made her opinion known by tweeting a meme from Facebook.
Seen on FB.

Netizens replied with humor and agreed with the actress’s tweet.
Inappropriate nga, pero… Baka kasi akala ni TayDigs and cohorts e may dalang prestige pag binigyan ng ganyang Corona.

Last January 25, before the first confirmed case of coronavirus in the country was announced, Agot retweeted a tweet about President Rodrigo Duterte eating breakfast and asked why it should be considered as a piece of news in the first place.
Why is this news???
Because he eats?Aahhh, because he’s awake.
Gets. 😒 https://t.co/LgFBwaP7uT— Agot Isidro (@agot_isidro) January 25, 2020
Loyal Duterte supporters were quick to fight back.

Agot had earlier pointed out how the government should’ve moved fast before a confirmed case happened.
It was only a matter of time till the virus reached us. Huwag tayo maglokohan. Alam natin yun.
