Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra assured government officials will face sanctions for getting vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus if they are not part of the government’s priority list.
“Possible administrative liability if they are govt officials who are not in the priority list,” he said.
Guevarra reminded that “the Code of Ethical Conduct provides penalties for certain acts or omissions, such as for misconduct, abuse of authority, or conduct prejudicial to the interest of the service.”
The secretary made the warning as the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) issued show cause orders against five mayors for getting themselves vaccinated.
President Rodrigo Duterte already reminded government officials that the vaccines being used in the country have been donated and, for the Philippines to receive more, should comply with the agreement that only those in the priority list should get vaccinated.
