Amid the COVID-19 scare in the country, some Twitter users started a campaign urging the people to cough on President Rodrigo Duterte.
The topic #UbuhanSiDuterte has gone viral on Twitter yesterday amid the criticisms being received by the President from the netizens because of the rising cases of COVID-19 in the Philippines.
Coughing is one of the ways to transmit the COVID-19 to another person.
It’s already known that the 73-year-old President has health problems already, and it’s not advisable for anyone to cough on the President.
“Because Duterte does not want to SOLVE THE ISSUE OF COVID-19 since he, himself, is another strain of virus lmaoooo it is THAT simple. STREAM ITZY’s WANNABE and#UbuhanSiDuterte,” netizen @tomflordeliza said.

However, some netizens and even critics of the President didn’t like how some Twitter users wanted to cough on Duterte.
“Critics of Duterte have become so toxic that they’d wish him death or harm. Blinded by so much hatred that they now resorted to deplorable stunt like this “UbuhanSiDuterte” hashtag. These people have lost a sense of decency, morality. They’re no longer capable to rationale thinking,” netizen @TishaCM said.
