This, as Las Piñas City Representative Camille Villar daughter of Senator Cynthia Villar announced that she will raffle off a house and lot and other prizes for inoculated residents of the city.
Senator Panfilo Lacson said the government, as well as the private sector, “should use all legal and creative means possible” to address the public’s reluctance to get jabbed.
“A chance at winning in the lottery and other creative incentives to attract more Filipinos to get themselves vaccinated – these are good moves by the government, both national and local, and even the private sector, to attain herd immunity at the soonest possible time,” Lacson said in a statement on Friday, May 28.

Villar stressed this as the country is witnessing a record unemployment level and many Filipinos left without jobs brought by the impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
Through House Resolution 1597, Villar urged the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), Civil Service Commission (CSC) and other relevant state agencies to intensify online job fairs to further ease unemployment in the country, accelerate the economy and keep families afloat during the economic crisis.
