Mocha Uson, the Queen of Fake News, urged President Rodrigo Duterte to let leftists rally on the streets but get medical treatment in the mountains once they get infected by the deadly Coronavirus disease.
“Nakikiusap po tayo sa ating Pangulong Duterte pabayaan napo natin ang mga makakaliwang grupo kumalat sa kalsada pero pag nagkasakit sila sa bundok sila magpa ospital. Salamat po,” she suggested.

Meanwhile, Bayan Muna Partylist opposed what Duterte described as “martial-Law like” enforcement of measures against the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), saying that such order is unconstitutional.
“A martial law-type of lockdown is martial law,” said Bayan Muna partylist Representative Ferdinand Gaite after a memo of the Philippine Air Force to its personnel ordering for preparation in light of a strict implementation of the enhanced quarantine was leaked.
Bayan Muna Partlylist is not against the lockdown, but rather they were against the idea of mobilizing the military to allegedly suppress any violence, invasion, or rebellion.
As what Bayan Muna party-list Representative Eufemia Cullamat said, “Civil arrests due to lockdown are everywhere. Repeated harassment was seen on different organizations doing charity works. Take, for example, the arrest of Anakpawis Representative, Ariel Casilao, and his companions from ‘Kilusang Mambubukid sa Pilipinas’.
“This series of events only shows that martial law de facto is already in effect. If this continues, the harassment will only get even worse,” Cullamat added.
Cullamat thinks that the government should focus on fast-tracking assistance to places mostly hit by the lockdown measures, the poorest of the poor. Until they are given help, the government cannot stop a hungry person from getting food, she added.
Mocha, however, a known DDS supporter, constantly red-tagging people.
