Locsin confirms Duque dropped the ball in Pfizer vaccine deal, but urges end to blame game

Locsin confirms Duque ‘dropped the ball’ in Pfizer vaccine deal, but urges end to blame game enablePagination: false endIndex: Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, December 21) Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro “Teddy Boy” Locsin Jr. on Monday confirmed it was Health Secretary Francisco Duque III who had “dropped the ball” in the country’s COVID-19 vaccine negotiations with American drug maker Pfizer. Locsin, however, said the public “can’t keep on blaming,” noting that he is more “interested in results” moving forward. “I’m not interested in recriminations, I’m interested in results,” Locsin said in an interview with CNN Philippines’ The Source. “We can’t keep blaming.”

No need for Duque to explain – Sotto

Sen. Vicente Sotto III (Senate of the Philippines / MANILA BULLETIN FILE PHOTO) Sotto, who is set to lead the Senate Committee of the Whole inquiry, was convinced that Duque was indeed at fault for the failure of the government to purchase from the United States-based pharmaceutical the first batch of coronavirus vaccines. Sen. Panfilo Lacson had earlier revealed that it was Duque whom Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin was referring to when he said on Twitter last Tuesday that he and Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel “Babe” Romualdez could have secured 10 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer but “someone dropped the ball”.
