This, as Las Piñas City Representative Camille Villar — daughter of Senator Cynthia Villar — announced that she will raffle off a house and lot and other prizes for inoculated residents of the city.
Senator Panfilo Lacson said the government, as well as the private sector, “should use all legal — and creative — means possible” to address the public’s reluctance to get jabbed.
“A chance at winning in the lottery and other creative incentives to attract more Filipinos to get themselves vaccinated – these are good moves by the government, both national and local, and even the private sector, to attain herd immunity at the soonest possible time,” Lacson said in a statement on Friday, May 28.
