A Chinese military plane carrying the crates of Sinovac vaccines landed at the Villamor Air Base around 4 p.m., with President Duterte leading top government officials in inspecting and accepting the vaccine donations from the Chinese government, which was represented by Ambassador Huang Xilian.
From the Villamor Air Base, the Sinovac Biotech Ltd.-manufactured jabs were transported to at least two cold chain storage facilities–one at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) in Manila and another at Metropac Logistics in Marikina City–aboard six 40-foot trucks. Police and military personnel escorted the trucks on their way to the cold chain facilities.
