Palace urges young people to get vaccinated, looks forward to a ‘merrier’ Xmas

By Prince Golez

Malacañang on Wednesday expressed hope that more young people will get a Covid-19 vaccine to return to some semblance of normal life.

The government has begun to vaccinate children aged 12 to 17 and the general population against the viral disease.

“Sana ay tuloy-tuloy ang pagbabakuna sa mga kabataan dahil binuksan na rin naman ang ating bakunahan sa ating general population. So, walang dahilan para yung mga sa colleges at universities ay maging 100 percent vaccinated,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said during a vaccination event held in Pampanga Wednesday.

Roque in a video message said Christmas this year will be “merrier” if more Filipinos avail themselves of the Covid-19 vaccine.

“Napakahirap po ng buhay sa pandemiya: walang ekonomiya, walang trabaho, (at) maraming nagugutom. Bagamat ang ating mga kabataan ay nakasalalay pa rin sa kanilang mga magulang, mararamdaman po ninyo yan dahil kung may lockdown walang hanapbuhay si nanay at si tatay,” according to him.

“Pero dahil sa bakuna, mas marami na pong pagkain sa hapag-kainan, at sabi ko nga, may pag-asa na pagdating ng Pasko, we will all have a merrier Christmas,” he concluded.
