Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, February 24) Some local governments in Metro Manila have started releasing the required advance payments to AstraZeneca so as not to forfeit the COVID-19 vaccine doses they pre-ordered from the British-Swedish pharmaceutical firm.
The release of funds came after President Rodrigo Duterte permitted local governments to make down payments beyond 15% of the contract amount last week.
Parañaque Mayor Edwin Olivarez on Wednesday disclosed they paid an initial P9,606,000 for 200,000 vaccine doses that cost around P50 million in total.
“Nag-down payment na po kami nung 20% (We already gave the required 20% down payment),” Olivarez said at the Kapihan sa Manila Bay forum.
It took some time before Metro Manila mayors agreed to let people aged 15 to 17 to be out on the streets, and they are alarmed at a proposal to even let children as young as five years old to leave home.
