Duterte made the statement after the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) arrested three individuals, including a registered nurse, for selling COVID-19 vaccines last week.
In his pre-recorded public address aired Wednesday midnight, President Duterte said that those behind the “alarming” illegal sale will be investigated and prosecuted.
“This is a warning and you know how it is, when you are caught, you are arrested, and you are detained, and you have to answer the charges in court,” he said.
“Do not press your luck too far. You might regret it. Warning ko lang sa inyo ‘yan (This is just a warning),” he added.
