Hindi mo nakuha yung ibig kong sabihin. Hindi ko inaalisan ng importansiya yung mga hinaing natin. Natural, makakaapekto sa kanila yan "kung" punahin nila at sa tingin nila ay valid, or well aware sila sa detalye nyan, kaya nga nakasalalay rin yan sa kanilang discretion. In any given situation especially emergencies, all amount of data counts! The problem is, we already experience almost a year with the pandemic, and we should already learned to cope with it, yet each side still continue this blaming game. How will it work? Most of our complaints are valid but the government always try their best to keep their image clean. Yan yung point ko. (You already know how Harry Roque manipulates and oversteps his authority on his press releases - talking on his own words as if he knows everything, as if he is the president, the head of DOH/IATF, etc. Have you noticed!) Ang kailangan talaga natin ay cooperative approach para tumaas yung "positive perception" rin ng tao sa kanila, including media. Trust and confidence really matters at this time.
On your side, ang punto ko (tulad din ng inaasahan ng karamihan), kapag nasa level ka ng "authority and responsibility", mistakes should be at the minimum and solved as quickly as possible. Advanced na ang source of information ngayon para di mapuna. Since this is a "natural disaster" and has no specific solution to resolve it, any info (complaints, data gathering. etc.) counts even coming outside their organization is important. Wala naman talagang exact effective measure/s when fighting a mysterious virus except the provided SOPs - w/ no guarantees. It's a continuous study. You just need to find a strategy that will work effectively in your end. It depends on the timing, the required and qualified resources/monitoring, the duration, and successful implementation. We are also included in following the SOPs and strategies. Both sides had its flaws, and we know it, that's why we have higher infections. At present, we just need to improve our measures to contain it and avoid our previous mistakes. Pero sila pa rin ang may mataas na tungkulin na gawin ito (as Control Center) kasama ang suporta natin. This is how I see it.
Kung tutuusin, kapag well-informed ang tao sa buong detalye ng kahit anong pandemya at mapapasunod mo, mas madali para sa gobyerno na magawa yung dapat nilang gawin. Pero kung yung panig mismo ng gobyerno ang may kakulangan simula umpisa pa, mas problema yon. (Kung ako ang pupuna, may problema ang gobyerno sa pag-assign/pagpapanatili ng nararapat na mga opisyales na may kakayahang gampanan ang tungkulin sa posisyon nila laban sa COVID-19 pandemic, sa dami ng ahensyang involved dyan. Hindi rin sila unified and well managed (mula DOH pababa, pati LGUs at kanilang support groups) kaya maraming lapses at nagkaganito tayo. Ginagamit nila yung press releases to divert people's attention right from the start while Network/Social media in part affected the people's responses adding to the problem - a chain reaction effect. Even presidential advisers, Congress and Senate didn't provide effective support to improve the clear limitations of the frontline agencies. They may have caused a stir on the executive branch as if their doing something, but not helping much on the pandemic battlefield. ) Mahirap talagang harapin yung ganitong klaseng pangyayari sa isang sakuna, sa existing lineup at kalidad ng mga namumuno sa atin. Wala pa tayong major breakthrough tulad ng China, Vietnam, South Korea, atbp. though may kaunting improvement na as seen from the charts. Kaya sa pangkasalukuyang at sa susunod na panahong mga hakbang na lang tayo babawi kung sakali - unti-unti nga lang.
It's all in the past, kaya matuto tayong maging handa w/ or without government support. This is not an excuse pero pasalamat rin tayo na ang death rate natin ay < 2% di tulad ng ibang mga bansa. There's still hope and room for improvement eka nga.
This is what i meant (and stand corrected), as I'm sure not all will agree depending on how I explained it.
