Atty. Joey Lina To show the magnitude of disproportion in access to the first COVID-19 vaccines being deployed at the start of 2021, a stark contrast was portrayed. “More than 39 million doses of vaccine have now been administered in at least 49 higher-income countries. Just 25 doses have been given in one lowest-income country. Not 25 million; not 25 thousand; just 25,” World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus lamented. “I need to be blunt: the world is on the brink of a catastrophic moral failure – and the price of this failure will be paid with lives and livelihoods in the world’s poorest countries,” Ghebreyesus warned in his Jan. 18 remarks at the 148th session of the WHO executive board.
Published May 22, 2021, 4:30 PM Senator Christopher “Bong” Go on Friday urged the government to mobilize the use of reservists of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to intensify efforts to control the spread of COVID-19. “Ang totoo niyan ay kulang na kulang po tayo sa human resources (The truth is that we lack human resources). And, in order, to accelerate further our daily vaccination rate, I urged the National Task Force Against COVID-19 (NTF) to also tap our military reservists,” Go said. Go, chairman of the Senate health and demography committee, expressed his concern that there are challenges in deliveries and rollout of the vaccines due to human resource deficit, making it harder to reach herd immunity soon for the whole nation.

What’s new? Two years into a three-year transition, the “normalisation” process that aims to disarm ex-rebels and pay peace dividends to the Philippines’ Bangsamoro region is behind schedule, partly because of COVID-19. Manila has recently taken steps to restore the momentum, but time is of the essence. Why does it matter? Normalisation has several essential components, including supplying socio-economic support, deploying peacekeeping teams to boost conflict mitigation efforts and disbanding private militias. Whether or not the government extends the 2022 deadline for the political transition, delays in carrying out these measures could frustrate former insurgents and raise the risk of violence.
Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo (PCOO) Panelo informed Robredo that the arrival of the initial batch of doses of vaccines from Pfizer has been hampered by issues related to indemnification requirements. A bill seeking to establish an indemnification fund for people who suffer bad side effects after getting the COVID vaccines is already pending in Congress, he said. The vice president earlier expressed concern about the delay in the country’s vaccination program, saying that even Bangladesh has began its inoculations ahead of the Philippines. “Alam mo ikaw VP Leni. Parang ikaw hindi ka nagbabasa ng dyaryo, hindi ka nakikinig sa mga komentaryo. Mayroon naman Senate hearing, nagpapaliwanag naman yan si Sec Charlie Galvez at sinasabi kung bakit nade-delay at hindi natin kasalanan (You know VP Leni, it seems that you’re not reading the newspapers, you’re not listening to commentaries. There have been Senate hearings and Secretary Charlie Galvez has explained the reason for the delay and it is not our fault),” Panelo said during his “Counterpoint” program Saturday, Feb. 20.
