Episode description

A viral post by a business owner pretty much sums up the frustration of many over the Duterte administration’s handling of the latest Delta variant surge. 

Inchang Mendoza related how her restaurant staff was all set for reopening. In fact, they had conducted a general clean-up and bought kilos of meat.

But at the last minute, Malacanang announced that Metro Manila won’t shift to a general community quarantine. 

So what happened?

President Duterte spent two hours in a recorded public address. 

But never did he explain why his administration walked back on a decision, which was announced days ago.
