President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to sign a memorandum order (MO) allowing local government units (LGUs) to make advance payments for the purchase of coronavirus (Covid-19) vaccines, his spokesman said.
In a televised briefing Thursday, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said Duterte will sign within the day an order authorizing LGUs to engage in 50 percent advance payment to secure the delivery of vaccines to its citizens.
“Inaasahang mapipirmahan na anumang oras ngayon ng ating Pangulo Rodrigo Duterte ang memorandum order kung saan 50 percent limit on advance payment para sa pagbili ng bakuna kontra sa Covid-19 ay papayagan na,” according to Roque.
“Dahil dito sa MO na ito makakabayad na ng advance payment ang mga lokal pamahalaan na bumili ng kanilang mga bakuna,” he added.
The Palace official said that a certification of urgency will also be issued on the bills creating an indemnification fund for those getting Covid-19 vaccines.
“Magkaakroon po tayo ng pondo, at ang suggestionat inaprubahan na ni (Finance) Secretary (Carlos) Dominguez ay P500 million. Diyan natin kukunin lahat ng danyos na hihingin nung mga tao na diumano ay magkakaroon ng side effect dahil sa mga bakuna,” said Roque.
