Senator Kiko Pangilinan on Monday supported Vice President Leni Robredo’s call for a transparent investigation of the unregistered vaccines given to some members of the military and the president’s security personnel.
“Bakit sinisikreto ang pagbabakuna? Dapat nga sine-celebrate ito dahil magandang balita ito, unless merong iligal sa mga transaksyon,” the Liberal Party president said.
“An honest and transparent investigation of the so-called smuggled vaccines and a credible result will bring back the confidence of the people in the government’s vaccination program. Dapat maparusahan ang gumagawa at nag-uutos ng iligal,” he added.
The senator said the inoculation of the military and the President’s guards made a mockery of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which has been working hard to find safe vaccines for the Filipinos against Covid-19.
It also endangers the military personnel inoculated since unauthorized vaccines still lack the safety and efficacy requirements, he said.
Pangilinan also pointed out anew that the incident raised questions about who should get the vaccines first.
“Palakasan ang nanaig sa kung sino ang mababakunahan. The vulnerable and poor sectors, the elderly and the frontliners as determined by the Department of Health should be first in line,” he said.
He called on local government units not to emulate the unauthorized vaccination, stressing it was illegal and could imperil their constituents.
Earlier, Robredo pushed for the investigation so as not to send the wrong signal to the people that illegal acts will be tolerated.
