‘Focus on curbing Delta variant spread’


THE government should now focus on dealing with the Covid-19 Delta variant, Senator Manny Pacquiao (pic) said after his ouster as president of the ruling Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) party.

“It is saddening that the Delta variant has already entered the Philippines and if its spread is not stopped, it could infect many. This should be the priority of the government,” Pacquiao said in a Viber message to reporters.
