Duque recently trended on social media after his rant about the Commission on Audit’s report flagging DOH over the use of the Php 67.32 billion COVID-funds.
He is seen in a video complaining about the emotional impact of COA’s report to his department, hence the “Winarak Nyo Kami” remark.
Duque alleged that the said report was premature, noting that DOH should have been given a full 60 days to present their rejoinder and actions abiding COA’s recommendations.
Earlier, netizens have scrutinized Duque regarding the DOH’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
