Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, December 19) Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro “Teddy Boy” Locsin, Jr. said US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has committed to help the Philippines secure COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer following an allegedly bungled deal.
This was among the topics discussed by the two officials during their great phone conversation Friday night, Locsin disclosed in a tweet on Saturday.
