I like Duterte but gotta say this covid thing has been run very poorly in the Philippines. An already precarious economy has been absolutely REKT, middle / low income class in particular - let alone tourism and hotels.
What source are you reading? The mainstream media of those opposition bloggers?
Since if you keep seeking information on them for sure you will get a misleading info's but if you watch ptv news for sure you will get the information on what government actions made.
Philippines is not rich country but the president really doing it's best to fight and possibly end up this pandemic it's just the only thing government can do for now since there's no vaccine yet is to lessen the casualty and infected person.
Also if we talk about economy the government already slowly opening up the tourism industry and I see some promotion of certain spots in the Philippines.
