Netizens slammed actress Angelica Panganiban following her rants against the Philippine Red Cross in Subic in Zambales where there was a queue for a swab test last Tuesday.
"Hello redcross subic!! Isang oras na kami sa dito sa parking area niyo. Nakaalis na din mga nakasabay namin. At inuna niyo pa yung ibang bagong dating. Okay lang naman kung palakasan :) tweet ko na lang," tweeted Angelica. (Hello Red Cross Subic. We have been waiting in the parking area for one hour. Others who arrived with us have left. You accommodated the new guests. It's okay if there's 'palakasan' system. I'll just tweet it).
Then she followed it with another tweet: "Taray ng red cross dito sa subic. D sila namamansin :)" (The Red Cross in Subic simply ignores us).
On her third tweet, Angelica wrote: "Nung huling beses ako nag pa swab sa red cross, muntik akong mabaliw. Nag padala sila ng email na positive ako sa covid. Pero yung attachment result, negative ako. Ginawa nila yun sa buong Olongapo guys. Nag sorry naman sila after 12 hours." (The last time we had a swab test in Red Cross, I nearly got crazy. They emailed me I was positive of COVID-19. But the attachment result showed I was negative. They apologized after 12 hours).
Later, netizens criticized Angelica for her series of tweets against the PRC in Subic.
Some reactions:
"You have to understand, while you are busy with your leisure trips, all of these frontliners are busy with their Essential job. With no rest, at risk, pressure and yet trying their best to serve you ungrateful people."
"At least sila nagsorry after 12 hours. Ikaw kelan mo marerealize ang katangahan mo at magsorry sa mga frontliners? Wag puro sarili iniisip. Kung nagiisip ka man. Anu na? Magsorry na bago mag 12 hrs."
"Dpat d kna nag pa swab ulit sa RC kng meron ka palng experience na nagkamali cla sa result mo gurl. Basic!"
"Yung iba nag tiis at pumili samantalang kayu singit lang tapos ng reklamo pa iba talaga taga luzon."
"Taas ng pride ni ate ghorl kahit obvious naman na maling mali at kabobohan ang pinaglalaban nya. Public apology in 3 2 1."
