Absolutely today, the problem is coronavirus, and the Philippines, like Brazil, chose retired military generals to head our pandemic response. It's part of the reason that we are right back in lockdown. We have curfews until 10:00 p.m. today. At the worst, most extreme lockdown, we needed to get quarantine passes to be able to leave home. It was a largely security-driven response that has largely failed.
How do we deal with the drug war? I think in the hierarchy of needs of Filipinos, the first one is health. The pandemic takes front and centre stage. Help hasn't really gone to the people in terms of—we call it ayuda—monetary help. There's been some help for large companies, but not for the tens of millions who have lost their jobs.
Then, it's some basic things, like contact tracing. None of these things.... I would say that coronavirus by pandemic response is a human right.
