President Rodrigo Duterte is taking strides to prevent the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) because the safety of the Filipinos is his main priority.

This, PCOO Secretary Martin Andanar said, as he expressed hopes that the Filipinos abide by the given procedures.

Sec. Andanar added that another concern of the President is maintaining the country’s stable economy despite the crisis the country is facing.
