Alessandra de Rossi took to social media to appeal to the government to value the lives of Filipinos.
The message of the actress came after president Rodrigo Duterte was absent from the public eye amid the surging COVID-19 cases in the country.
"STOP TAKING FILIPINOS FOR GRANTED! yes, resilient tayo, and very understanding, pero may hangganan ang lahat," she posted on her Twitter on April 12.
Alessandra urged the government to help and support the Filipinos.
On a serious note, STOP TAKING FILIPINOS FOR GRANTED! yes, resilient tayo, and very understanding, pero may hangganan ang lahat. Ang dami naming kayang ibigay. May mga pangarap din at pamilya. Don't take our lives for granted!

Tulong. We need support.
Not sports. Ay natweet. ðŸ¤
"Ang dami naming kayang ibigay. May mga pangarap din at pamilya. Don't take our lives for granted! Tulong. We need support. Not sports. Ay natweet," she said.
It can be recalled that president Duterte was spotted golfing and riding a motorcycle in the videos and photos posted by Senator Bong Go last April 11 during the president's two-week absence from the public eye.

On Monday, April 12, the president appeared in the public again and addressed the nation.
"Noong nawala ako ng ilang araw, talagang sinadya ko 'yun. Ganoon ako eh, kapag kinakalkal mo ako, lalo akong, parang bata? Kapag lalo mo akong kinakantyawan, eh mas lalo akong gumagana," he said.
In his message, he also pointed out that there is nothing wrong with enjoying his hobbies since it was done in the evening.
"Kaya ako nakaka-swing ng golf (club), tapos nagmo-motor, kasi kaya ko pa. The problem is you should look into the time I enjoy my hobbies. Gabi 'yun, ano ba naman. Sa araw makita mo ako nag-golf...sabihin may problema," he explained.
