PRRD wants Robredo to focus on Covid-19, not politics written by Ruth Abbey

Gita-Carlos. The vice president made a negative statement towards the country saying

that it appears to have no leader. The author’s main point is to appeal the statement

that the vice president made and to stop issuing statements that could motivate hatred

against the government. President Rodrigo Duterte wanted Vice President Maria Leonor

Robredo to stop turning the pandemic into politics and instead help the government in

its fight against the coronavirus disease.

The statement that Vice President Robredo made was not fully written. It might

lead to some readers doubting the written article or will likely have a bias perception

towards our Vice President. The statement would have been clearer if the article wrote

the full quoted phrase of the issuing statements that the vice president made. The

article proceeds to write what the government has done during these hard times. This is

the strength of the article. The purpose is to soften the claims and the negative phrases

that Robredo said towards the government.

The article highlights the negative impact of making the whole coronavirus

pandemic into a political issue. The author made a success in terms of softening the

hatred of some readers towards the government but the article might incite hatred

towards the Vice President. It is important for all of us to be informed that throwing

negatives noises and words towards the government doesn’t help the situation and that

the government is doing their best to adapt and survive the country from these

pandemic.
