MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte said on Monday said that he would like to go around the country to visit military camps in the coming days — taking, of course, all the precautions against COVID-19 infection. I don’t like this lockdown… I hate it,” Duterte said, speaking partly in Filipino, in a televised speech. “But I tell you, if you cannot stop yourself from going out and you get infected, then I’m sorry. If I’m reckless enough and then I get it — because in the coming days I intend to go around the country, I will visit some military camps. The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) earlier approved the establishment of a National Task Force (NTF) Emergency Operation Center.
