In an interview on Wednesday, April 7, Go said that the rising number of COVID-19 cases and the reimposition of ECQ in the National Capital Region (NCR) Plus area had also limited President Duterte’s movement and engagements.
“Pina-postpone rin po ni Pangulong Duterte ‘yong mga plano niyang pag-iikot sa buong bansa dahil kasalukuyang nasa ECQ pa po tayo. We have to respect the ECQ…Siya mismo ay hindi muna lumabas dahil ine-engganyo nga natin ‘yung mga taumbayan na manatili muna sa pamamahay kung hindi naman po importante ang lakad (President Duterte also postponed his plans to go around the country because we are in an ECQ. We have to respect the ECQ. Even the President is not going out because he wants to encourage our countrymen to stay indoors if there are no important reasons to leave their houses),” said Go, Duterte’s former aide.
