CEBU CITY—Former tourism secretary Joseph Ace Durano has promised a different approach to the COVID-19 response in Cebu province as he challenges incumbent Gov. Durano said he would strengthen the health care system in Cebu by upgrading the provincial hospitals, which are left unprepared amid the pandemic. ADVERTISEMENT”That is why we are here now because we will be the voice for all those who are unsatisfied with the COVID-19 response of the provincial government,” the 51-year-old Durano said. The former tourism secretary said he would not force people to wear personal air purifiers and would launch a massive information drive to curb vaccine hesitancy. Durano criticized the current COVID-19 response of the Garcia administration.
