The 7,103 new cases of COVID-19 surge shocked the Filipinos, as it surpassed last year’s peak of 6,958 cases.

Over twitter, celebrities and personalities have urged the public to stay safe as the coronavirus got even scarier with this huge number of cases in just a day.

Actor and musician Kean Cipriano encouraged Filipinos to stay safe as he, along with his countrymen, is now scared of this pandemic.

Actress Maja Salvador also prayed for Filipinos to be safe. She also advised the public to wear masks as this surge of Covid-19 cases reached over 7,000.

Even Kapuso actor Ruru Madrid is sad by the news that there are 7,103 cases recorded just this Friday. The actor also prayed for the safety of everyone.

Senator Risa Hontiveros expressed her concern about the spike in Covid cases since she has a daughter with asthma. The Senator also stressed that the total number of cases recorded this Friday was the worst that the country has ever had.

Hontiveros shared in a tweet what the World Health Organization has stated about the Philippines being at the first wave of the pandemic. The government is still in denial of its failures. According to the woman senator, ‘the curve will never be flattened’ if the government will remain in denial about the problem and what needs to be done to solve it.

Meanwhile, actor Alex Medina used humor to address the Philippines’ current pandemic situation.

The coronavirus being extremely dangerous to the elderly due to having a weaker immune system because of age–the comedienne and actress Marietta Subong or better known as Pokwang advised the public to be extra careful; especially those families with the elderly living with them.

Pokwang also called out those violators who still think of themselves as they party and enjoy life as if everything is normal.

Actress Nikki Valdez asked the Lord to protect the country against the continuous rise of Covid cases.

Musician Johnny Danao took the news as a failure of the Duterte administration. Danao reiterated Pres. Duterte’s statement during his recent speech and undermined once again the pandemic. With over a year since the coronavirus inflicted the country, positive cases also grew in numbers–it sunken the country deeper into debts. The musician also pointed out the incompetence of Duterte administration. It only advised Filipinos to wait for the vaccine donated by China and as it is busy doing electoral campaigns.

Richard Juan also took a swipe at the government for claiming that the country did an “excellent job” in containing the spread of COVID. However, with 7,103 new cases, it only proved that the Philippines is nowhere near excellent.

The number of COVID cases in the Philippines will reach 8,000 (in just a day) by the end of March, the Department of Health said.

Pia Magalona criticized the government, especially Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, who was proud to claim that the country did an “excellent job” against the pandemic. Magalona also called out Health Secretary Francisco Duque III, who appointed contact tracing czar, whom she did not find helpful at all.

ABS-CBN broadcast journalist MJ Felipe also reiterated the statement of the President with him questioning if the Philippines still did an excellent job and if the country can ‘still’ manage to survive in this pandemic

Other celebrities blamed the government for its inadequate response resulting in the ballooning of cases.

Actress Agot Isidro wrote on her Twitter that although she wanted everyone to be safe, she blamed Duterte through a subtle hashtag she used—#DuterteVirus.

Singer Leah Navarro also held Pres. Duterte accountable for the surge of COVID cases. She stressed that the President and his allies are trying to get people killed by doing nothing. The singer also echoed the questions of many: “Where is the money? Where are the vaccines?”

Twitter personality Gideon Lasco also blamed Duterte for not prioritizing the pandemic over anything else. Lasco also theorized that the government would again blame the public. However, Lasco is certain the cases recorded this Friday will go to Duterte’s failure as a leader.

As of Friday, the total number of active cases in the country has reached 648,066. Meanwhile, the mortalities related to COVID remained low, with DOH recording only 13 deaths.
