With less than five months left until the end of the President Duterte’s term, Senator Christopher “Bong” Go said the President remains focused on maintaining the forward momentum of the country’s COVID-19 response and laying the groundwork for an inclusive economic recovery in 2022.
“While many Filipinos have expressed their sadness that President Rodrigo Duterte’s term is coming to an end, such is the democratic process. Everything has to come to an end at some point. That said, I am confident that he has done his best in serving the country and will continue to do so as the country’s leader, the lawmaker from Davao said.
He particularly praised the government’s vaccination efforts. This was partly made possible through an aggressive information campaign that helped bring down vaccine hesitancy levels among adult Filipinos from 33% in May to just 8% in December 2021, according to Social Weather Stations surveys. Meanwhile, total bed occupancy and intensive care unit usage rates in all areas are at low to moderate risk. The national health system’s capacity is in a sound state.
“Bagama’t hindi mandatory ang vaccination laban sa COVID-19 at hindi pwedeng pilitin ang mga tao, hikayatin pa rin natin ang mga hindi pa bakunado na magpabakuna na upang maiwasan natin ang malubhang sakit o maging kamatayan dahil sa COVID-19 .. Ipaintindi natin nang mabuti at ilapit na natin sa kanila ang bakuna ” Go recently appealed.
He reassured that the government rigorously reviewed all available data and consulted with health experts before clearing the use of vaccines for said age group.
