CEBU CITY The so-called social media influencers were asked to help boost the vaccination campaign in the Visayas.
The Office of the Presidential Assistant for the Visayas (OPAV) said these social media influencers will play a key role in helping increase the confidence in COVID-19 vaccines.
One of those who committed to help push the government’s vaccination campaign was Jess Labares, a transgender beauty queen.
“I really do believe in this vaccination push and the vaccine brands that our government is procuring. We have to trust the process. We have to trust our government,” Labares said in an online show hosted by OPAV Assistant Secretary Anthony Gerard Gonzales.

+ February 06, 2021 A BICYCLE race, which was supposed to be held on Zuellig Ave. Saturday morning, Feb. 6, 2021, was canceled due to the lack of permit.
John Eddu Ibañez, Mayor Jonas Cortes’ executive secretary, told SunStar Cebu he found out about the activity on Facebook.
According to the post, the race would take place behind the Cebu Doctor’s University at 4:30 a.m.
Ibañez showed up at the event and asked participants if they had a permit to use a one-kilometer stretch of Zuellig Ave. for the race.
They had none.
Ibañez said conducting a race without coordinating with the local government unit could endanger the lives of participants and the public, considering the road is a public road.

In a year without any certainty
But will we get out of this all unscathed?
And cross paths once more no longer afraid?
At one point, it appeared impossible
But as time progressed, it now looks
solvable,
And our pursuit to find it must never desist.
Someday, we will all meet again.
It is not a matter of “if”; but “when”.
And once we can get back to face-to-face,
We will all be back within each other’s embrace.
So don’t lose hope, and don’t throw it away
A touch of optimism will show us the way
