On the Three-Day National Vaccination Drive

Late is never too late as long as it is for the greater good of the Filipino people.

A three-day national vaccination drive is a welcome development, para tuluyan na nating maabot ang herd immunity at sana lagpas pa roon.

Ang pagbubukas ng ekonomiya ang pinakamimithi ng sambayanang Pilipino para makaahon na tayo sa pagkakalugmok ng ating bansa – sa hirap, gutom, kawalan ng trabaho at negosyo at pagkabaon sa utang.

While the government may have made mistakes early on in dealing with the pandemic, what is important is that it makes up and makes good while it is not too late.

On the ‘No Vaccination, No Subsidy’ Proposal

While we agree that all Filipinos should get the jab done, is withholding much-needed aid for poor families the best way for government to get its job done?

Even from a health and medical perspective, not all of our citizens can be vaccinated, so it stands to reason that a socio-economic safety net should also be approached in the same manner.

Thus it might be more prudent for the Department of Interior and Local Government and the relevant authorities concerned to consider an incentivized approach to vaccination, rather than a blanket “no vaccine, no aid” policy.
