Ogie Diaz questions PDP-Laban’s national convention amid the MECQ in NCR, but businesses continue to remain closed

Showbiz personality Ogie Diaz questioned why the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) faction held a national convention on Wednesday, September 8, despite the implemented modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) in NCR.

The party was supported by President Rodrigo Duterte and led by Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi.

The convention aimed to finalize the Presidential, Vice Presidential, and Senatorial candidates of the said ruling party.

Diaz lamented that many small businesses in the region stopped their operation due to MECQ, thus he pondered why the said meeting attended by 400 persons was allowed.

In a facebook post on the same date of the aforementioned convention, Diaz aired his complaints against PDP-Laban.

“Naudlot ang opening ng resto at salon at iba pang negosyo dahil sa napakagulong desisyon sa klase ng lockdown, pero nag-meeting ang PDP-Laban na may 400 members sa isang convention center, okay lang?

“So sila, pwede? Ang mga negosyo, bawal? Ang mga manggagawang excited magtrabaho, nganga?

“Di bale sana kung itong mga pulitikong ito ang nagbibigay ng kabuhayan sa bawat pamilya eh.

“Kaso ang pinaghahandaan nila ay yung eleksyon next year, kaya nagtipon-tipon. Mas priority ba yan over pandemya?

“So abangan na lamang natin ang mga “positive” news sa mga susunod na araw,” Diaz wrote.

In a separate post, Diaz threw shade at the Government’s decision to implement a stricter modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) in Metro Manila.

He quipped, “Puro kwentong barbero ang naririnig natin, pero sarado naman ang mga barber shop at hair salon, paano nangyari yon?”
