Personalities and netizens are disgusted at Presidential spokesman Harry Roque’s ‘bleh’ amidst the resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the country.
In an interview with TV5’s “Deretsahan” on Wednesday, Luchi Cruz-Valdez asked Roque if the current administration’s cabinet members are united.
Roque then replied, “Meron talagang napakagagaling. Of course, there are Cabinet members who I absolutely abhor and will not have anything to do with but that’s life.”
When he was asked to name the cabinet members he is referring to, Roque refused to answer it and went on making a ‘bleh’ expression in front of the camera.
His unprofessional annoyed netizens and personalities, pointing out how inappropriate his act was.
Juan Miguel Severo expressed his disgust with the government.

@ogie_rosa is irritated that we are stuck on seeing Roque on TV while New Zealand is winning their fight against COVID-19.
Nagko-concert na sa New Zealand, samantalang tayo ganitong mga basura pa rin ang napapanood natin. pic.twitter.com/xdQYD6Et4Q

@krizzy_kalerqui believes that clowns governing the country, like Roque, are the reason for the spike of COVID-19 cases in the country.

Kevin Manalo said that Roque is doing this for publicity so, he advised netizens to stop giving Roque the clout he is craving for.
Wag niyo na gawan ng meme yung papansin na gov‘t official. He just craves for attention in the hopes of recall for the upcoming elections. Let him be a clown trapped in his own bubble.

Stop spreading Harry Roque’s disgusting face and giving him free clout for 2022 but don’t forget—that disgusting face got tested more than 30 times for COVID-19 so that he can go diving, swim with dolphins, or go to Boracay while workers can’t even go out or afford to get tested.

On Friday, the country recorded the highest single-day tally for COVID-19 cases that almost reached 10,000. Also, recording the highest active cases ever, more than 100,000.
Previously, Vice Ganda and Roque exchanged banters after the comedian expressed disapproval about the government’s choice of the vaccine. The spox then advised the public not to believe a comedian like Vice.
Vice then replied to Roque’s attack saying, “Pero ako ‘di ako clown. I’m a comedian. At may kilala akong clown. ‘I’m a comedian. You are the clown.”
With the recent act of Roque on national TV, maybe we can agree with Vice Ganda’s claim!
