Palace clarifies: Only half of private-sector vaccine purchase goes to gov’t

By Prince Golez

Malacañang on Thursday rejected the claim made by retired Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio that under a tripartite agreement with the national government and drug makers, private companies are required to donate to the government 100 percent of the vaccines purchased.

Only half of the firms’ vaccine procurement will be donated to the government, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque clarified during his televised briefing.

“Ang sabi po niya ay 100% daw po ng bakunang inangkat ng mga pribadong kumpanya ay ido-donate sa gobyerno. Hindi po totoo,” according to Roque.

“Ang mga pribadong sektor na pumasok po sa tripartite agreement, 50 percent po ang ido-donate nila sa gobyerno (at) 50 percent ay gagamitin nila sa kanilang mga empleyado.

“Kinakailangan lang po ituwid ito dahil baka naman ibig sabihin masyado naman natin ginagamit ang ating mga pribadong kumpanya na hindi naman totoo,” he added.
