Illegal coronavirus vaccines plotting the country's black market have prompted the senate to call for an inquiry.
Members of the security detail of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte issued Covid-19 vaccines in September and October. But no shots were approved for use in the country, either then or now.
Late on Monday night, Duterte instructed the soldiers of the Presidential Security Group (PSG) "not obey the summons" and that they "stay put in the barracks," saying that he would not allow them to be "brutalized for all their good intentions" before a Senate investigation.
