Duterte asks DOH to probe vaccination of ‘anak ng artista’

By Prince Golez

President Rodrigo Duterte has instructed the Department of Health (DOH) to investigate the vaccination of an actor in Parañaque City.

In his public address late Wednesday, Duterte asked Health Secretary Francisco Duque III to submit a report to the Office of the Ombudsman.

“Anak ito ng artista. Kayo na ang bahala mag-imbestiga nito. Then kung matapos na ito, let your legal office handle the… Or idiretso mo na lang sa — make a report out of that incident and idiretso mo na lang sa Ombudsman. Mas mabuti, mas madali,” the Chief Executive told Duque.

Duterte also named local officials who jumped the priority line ahead of medical frontliners.

They were Tacloban City Mayor Alfred Romualdez, Legazpi City Mayor Noel Rosal, Bataraza, Palawan Mayor Abraham Ibba, South Cotabato Mayors Dibu Tuan and Sulpicio Villalobos, Minglanilla, Cebu Mayor Elanito Peña, Alicia Mayor Victoriano Torres, San Miguel Mayor Virgilio Mendez, and Lila Mayor Arturo Piollo II.

The President likewise reminded the government to strictly follow the priority list given by the World Health Organization and failure to do so might endanger the supply of donated Covid-19 vaccines from the WHO-led COVAX facility.
