“NO STRINGS ATTACHED” By Sandie Verdadero

DU30 acceptance of vaccine donations from Chinas has AFFECTED his handling of such SENSITIVE issues as, fisherman’s survival, the Chinese occupation of the destruction of the marine ecosystem. He boasted that we have “utang na loob” to a true friend China due to Sinovac vaccines, as he hesitates to push HARDER vs China continuing violation of our country EXCLUSIVE economic zone. The DOF reported that the gov’t has ACCUMULATED $18.4 billion (P887 billion) foreign loans for COVID-19 RESPONSE. These loans can buy ENOUGH VACCINES to INNOCULATE 70-80% of the 110 million of our population to ACHIEVE herd immunity. The gov’t can AFFORD to BUY all the vaccines it needs if available, including that EFFICACY with safety ratings SUPERIOR to China vaccines. To put an END to this DRAMA over “utang na loob” for those donations with STRING ATTACHED.
