(File photos) CEBU CITY - Mayor Michael Rama on Monday urged teachers and parents here who have yet to receive a coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) vaccine to register and be inoculated before the start of face-to-face classes this year. This, after Department of Education (DepEd)-Central Visayas Regional Director Salustiano Jimenez, said in a media report more than 5,000 teachers in Region 7 may not be allowed to participate in the limited in-school classes in August because they remain unvaccinated. "All school owners, all parents, all teachers, you know pretty well that if we call for face-to-face classes, and still we continue to hear that there are teachers who have not been vaccinated yet, what is that?" he said in a virtual press briefing. Rama said the position of the city government that it is legally wrong to coerce individuals to submit themselves
