I am honored to attend this summit. Let me begin by thanking the Philippines International Chamber of Commerce and the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry for organizing this timely event.
The COVID-19 pandemic is still raging around the world. Fighting against the pandemic remains the most urgent task for the international community. Vaccine is the fundamental means to control the spread of the pandemic and save lives.

IP-Biotech recently signed a tri-partite agreement with the National Government and the Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (FFCCCII) marking the start of private sector galvanization towards the procurement and administration of vaccines for employees and stakeholders.
Pursuant to RA 11525 or the “COVID-19 Vaccination Program Act of 2021”, recently passed in the Senate and Lower House, private companies and Local Government Units are now authorized to procure COVID-19 vaccines which have been given Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in cooperation with the Department of Health and the National Taskforce Against COVID-19 (NTF) through a tripartite agreement. This was further reaffirmed and emphasized through recent statements of President Rodrigo Duterte.
