Duterte reminds public of face mask benefits: ‘The virus can’t easily penetrate through the material’

By Prince Golez

President Rodrigo Duterte has reiterated that his government will not lift the nationwide mask mandate until the end of his term.

Face masks reduce the chance of spreading Covid-19, Duterte said in a speech delivered in Leyte.

“While I’m President, continue to use your masks because this has given us protection. If I hadn’t firmly imposed the usage of face masks, the infection rate would have been high,” the President said during his visit to typhoon “Agaton” victims in Baybay City Friday.

“But because you are using masks, the virus can’t easily penetrate through the material. It’s not like a crab that… It gives you protection,” he added.

Duterte, however, explained that he usually takes off his mask when he speaks “because I can’t talk properly when I’m wearing it.”
