Cayetano on Monday said that we have enough PPEs in the country and that the shortage is just fake news.

“There is a lot of fake news,” Cayetano said.

“Have you heard that people are spreading fake news saying there is a lack of PPEs or personal protective equipment in an area? It’s unfortunate when you propagate fake news. It’s unfortunate for those who truly need PPEs. Now we don’t know where to donate,” he added.

However, Cayetano was contradicted by the real frontliners themselves who attested to the inadequacy of supplies in medical facilities.

It has been an everyday battle for the country’s medical frontliners and what’s saddening is that they are fighting with a lack of protective gear resulting in several infections and deaths in their field.

Four doctors have already died due to their exposure to positive COVID-19 patients.

Meanwhile, here are other sentiments from netizens regarding Cayetano’s claim.
