President Rodrigo Duterte reminded the people not to be “choosy” when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccine brand that will be given to them.
According to the President, all COVID-19 vaccines are effective, and he does not want to have an issue that he is favoring any vaccine brand.
“They are all potent. They are all effective. So wala — there’s no reason for you really to be choosy about it. The only reason is ayaw kong magkaroon ng — magkaroon ng ano ‘yong istorya na may pinapaboran kami na itong ito. Wala,” said Duterte.
He said that anyone poor or rich could go to vaccination sites to get vaccinated what is available.
He doesn’t want anyone to buy a COVID-19 vaccine brand because everyone is the same.
He said it is not good to hear that people are still buying and waiting for the vaccine and prefer Moderna or Pfizer.

The President also told those who do not want to be vaccinated not to leave the house because there are new variants of COVID-19, and there is a high chance that the unprotected will die.
Duterte also warned that a stricter lockdown will be enforced if the people do not follow the implemented health protocols amid the new variants of COVID-19 that have entered the country.
According to Duterte, the country’s hope is the citizens’ compliance, and there has been a drop in the case of COVID-19 due to compliance with the protocols.
He said if the protocols are not followed, the case of COVID-19 will definitely increase again, and a stricter lockdown will be implemented while the new variants are studied.
“Kasi pag hindi, then mapipilitan again ako na to impose lockdowns and everything at mas strikto ang gobyerno…‘Pag di sumusunod, may resurgence na naman tapos new variants. Mapipilitan talaga ako mag impose ng lockdown maybe stricter this time because di natin alam anong variants yan, pag-aralan muna yan,” said Duterte.
