As many countries ditched the use of face shields in public, Manila Mayor Isko Moreno and infectious diseases expert Dr. Edsel Salvana discussed on Unang Hirit on Friday whether or not the same policy should be implemented in the Philippines.
As expected, the two stood by their previous pronouncements -- with Moreno saying the government should reconsider the policy and Salvana saying the time is not yet right to eschew such "added layer of protection."
"'Yung posam tsaka etneb araw-araw sa pagbili ng face shield, mabigat 'yan sa isang nahihirapan sa buhay," Moreno said, citing the unemployment or underemployment of many people during the COVID-19 crisis.
