Health Secretary Ted Herbosa apologized "for things I have said before" and sought the public's support "to really succeed in building a healthy Philippines."
Herbosa made the tweet in reaction to netizens’ tweets noting that a number of “kakampinks” have expressed support for his appointment.
“Thank you for your support! And I apologize for things I have said before! Thank you. We are all FILiPiNOS! DOH will need all your support to really succeed in building a healthy Philippines. Maybe we should all start healing because I know you all love our country!” the health secretary said.

Herbosa did not specify his previous statements but he was previously criticized over some tweets, including one that reacted to a death in the conduct of a community pantry and another on protesting health workers.
