KC Concepcion asked the Philippine Government to be attentive to the cries of Filipinos in this time of crisis.
In her Instagram post, she said, “So many of us have opinions about how this current crisis should be handled in our country. And I’ve been praying for our voices, as Filipinos, to be heard by our leaders…”
She was enlightened by the fact that there are still people willing to extend help during this pandemic. She praised the efforts made by the LGUs, NGOs, and essential workers who work tirelessly and embrace this challenge with all their might.
“Nakakatuwa lang isipin na sa ganitong paraan, nakikita natin kung paano tayo pwedeng mag tulungan sa panahong ito. Ang dami ding NGO, LGU at essential workers na walang pagod na kumikilos at buong pusong humaharap sa pagsubok na ‘to.”
She urged everyone who read her post to “continue praying for our leaders in the Philippines, and leaders all over the world, who need to make tough decisions during this time. 🇵🇭 We’re in this together, world.”

KC Concepcion was asking the Government to level-up their efforts in dealing with the COVID-19 crisis.
In a series of tweets, KC seemed already frustrated with how the Government handled the major health issue at hand.
In one of her tweets, KC shared a snippet of Senator Lacson’s comment on the lack of sense of urgency from the DOH and FDA.

KC followed by quoting Lacson about the frustrating bureaucracy at customs that was causing the delay in the distribution of testing kits from other countries like South Korea and China.
Lacson suggested that the government should have “more flexibility” from DOH, as donated test kits are sitting at the Bureau of Customs due to the slow bureaucratic processes.
“Donated test kits sitting at the Bureau of Customs due to the slow bureaucratic processes: "Hundreds of thousands of rapid test kits for donation by local businessmen & procured from South Korea/China have arrived over a week ago yet a big volume is being held by Customs. Why?"
