Question 5

The administration of Duterte is delegating authority to the local government unit (LGU). They
are making decisions in such a way that they can cover small communities, knowing that
Covid19 is a worldwide problem. The LGU now has the authority to issue guidelines in
compliance with IATF rules. In this sense, the vaccine is now being developed and tested in
order to fight covid19. They're just making sure that is as effective and efficient as possible. With
the government extending the lockdown until the end of the month, public discontent and
impatience is bound to increase, especially if the government fails to reassure the public that it
is in control, such as by rolling out mass testing, showing a credible decline in infections, or
extending policies that help poor Filipinos meet their basic needs during the lockdown. As the
crisis continues, Duterte’s popularity and legacy could well suffer major damage.
