“It is a patriotic duty to get inoculated as it protects us from COVID-19. We should do this not only for ourselves but for our family as well,” Abalos said Friday.
The MMDA chief made the remark even as a lot of Filipinos are still unwilling to receive the vaccine for fear of possible side effects.
