Senator Bong Go has expressed his support for the establishment of a virology institute that will eventually enable the country to develop and manufacture its own vaccines against diseases, such as Covid-19, in the future.
“Ako naman po ay pabor naman po ako dahil ‘di natin masabi kung may pandemya pa na darating sa buhay natin. So mabuti na po na maging proactive tayo,” the former presidential aide said on Monday.
“Someday, magkaroon sana tayo ng sariling vaccine manufacturer sa bansa,” Go said.
He said he hopes for the proposed institute to eventually capacitate the country to develop and manufacture its own vaccines.
“Pag-aralan natin ang posibilidad na magkaroon ng sariling kapasidad na mag-develop, produce, at manufacture dahil sa nangyari po ngayon, ‘take it or leave it’ tayo. Kung ‘di tayo sumunod sa kanilang agreement ay di tayo mabibigyan ng bakuna. Halos nagmamakaawa pa tayo,” Go said.
“Naaawa na nga po ako sa mga kasamahan natin sa gobyerno na halos walang tulog para bigyan lang tayo ng bakuna. Ginagawa naman po ng gobyerno ang lahat sa abot ng makakaya para makakuha ng bakuna. Sabi ko, panahon na rin na magkaroon tayo nito para handa na tayo kung ano pang pandemya ang dumating,” he added.
The senator said he envisions the proposed institute to create strategic partnerships with other leading virology centers, institutes and scientists and conduct innovative research that will advance the country’s progress and development in the field of virology.
