Lauren Young also lambasted the President's speech.
“Takot na nga yung mga tao because of this virus. Their own government is depriving them of food, their officials are MIA [missing in action], one was parading about without following guidelines and you have the nerve to scare them even more with violence? WHY? How is that helpful?” the actress tweeted.
