Watch the Livestream of President Rodrigo Duterte address the nation today June 5, 2020.

President Rodrigo Duterte to give an update on how the government has responded to COVID-19 crisis.

The President was supposed to deliver his weekly address on Thursday evening, but Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said it was instead moved to 8 am on June 5.

The address will come just as Duterte told the Department of Health that it only has until June 9 to give cash benefits to virus-hit health workers.

Roque, in an online briefing on Thursday, said Duterte gave the order in response to a revelation during a Senate hearing that no infected healthcare worker so far has received the compensation as promised in the Bayanihan to Heal As One Act.

Apart from issues concerning COVID-19, the President is also expected to discuss matters concerning the Anti-Terrorism Bill, which the House of Representatives passed on third reading on Wednesday.

Duterte submitted his 10th report on COVID-19 efforts to the Joint Congressional Oversight Committee on Monday, highlighting what has been done so far, as of CNN.
