Duterte asks Pinoy scientists to work ‘double time’ to develop Covid-19 vaccines

By Prince Golez

President Rodrigo Duterte has urged Filipino scientists to work “double time” to help the government address the Covid-19 health crisis.

“There are so many variants now coming out. ‘Pag lahat yan kailangan ng bakuna, patay na. Our scientists must work double time na mag-isip talaga… to help the Filipino,” Duterte said during his meeting with PDP-Laban officials Tuesday.

The President said local scientists should develop Covid-19 vaccines so the Philippines need not rely on other countries for doses.

“We can’t be dependent, ill afford to just, sabihin dun sa mga ibang tao na bigyan mo kami, bigyan mo dito. That cannot go on,” according to him.

“We must develop, tutal may pera man tayo… I am praying that they can come up with a good result of their studies and make some vaccines that are truly Filipino,” added Duterte.
