In a media interview on Thursday, March 4, Cayetano appealed to his fellow government officials to respect the vaccination prioritization listing for COVID-19 inoculation, stressing that there should be no “VIPs” in the COVID 19 pandemic.
Cayetano lamented that as reports indicated that VIP’s were able to go ahead of others in the priority list, local government units are still not assured access to COVID-19.
