Another netizen criticized the incompetence of the government to address the pandemic situation. The netizen, who seems to be fed up with how the nation is being led, encouraged everyone to register and vote in this coming 2022 election.

Writer Jerry Grácio lambasted Pres. Duterte for his inability to come up with a solution to the pandemic situation.
It can be recalled that Pres. Duterte downplayed the current situation of the Philippines during one of his televised speeches.
9,838 new cases. Kung concerned si Duterte at di ito tinitingnan bilang "maliit na bagay" lang, maalarma siya; kung may hiya, magre-resign. Kaso, mas madaling sisihin ang mga tao kesa akuin ang mga pagkukulang. https://t.co/PMiZP6KqoB

The almost 10k cases have resulted in a number of sirens being heard across regions of the country. This prompted actress Chynna Ortaleza to have an anxiety attack due to the pandemic situation worsening.
The sound of sirens all over triggers so much anxiety. 🙏🏻
