ICYM: It is better to incentivize people to get vaccinated against COVID-19 than to make it mandatory, according to Vice President Leni Robredo.
“We have seen in our programs that when you give incentives, people agree on their own free will and I think, it’s the more effective way,” she said.
Robredo visited the Murcia Women’s Association – Lakas ng Kababaihan at Sitio Sumbingco, Barangay Damsite, Murcia, Negros Occidental, on Saturday. Between August and October 2021, MWA-LNK purchased a total of 395 sacks of rice which were distributed to 87 retailers and earned a gross income of Php 21,250, they said.MWA-LNK is registered under the Department of Labor and Employment and was organized through the initiative of 15 women leaders from different barangays in Murcia.
After the MWA-LNK meeting, the Vice President joined the “Palugaw ni Leni” at the open court in Sitio Sumbingco organized by the Laban Leni Negros Occidental , a group of individuals who believe in the advocacy of the Vice President to address the ill-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
