Non-nationals were among the hundreds of workers from the food and beverage sector lined up for covid19 vaccines at the Southern Academy for the Performing Arts (SAPA) in San Fernando on Friday.
Like locals, the non-nationals who spoke with Newsday said they were eager to return to work.
Jojie Yap Madriaga, an executive chef from the Philippines, said many of his co-workers had already taken the vaccine. He believes taking it will help the process of making the country normal again.

Veteran national bodybuilder Lawrence “The Beast” Marshall was laid to rest on Friday.
He was remembered by members of his family and the local bodybuilding fraternity as a “father figure,”“confidant” and “true friend”.
The ex-national athlete, 58, died of renal failure on Saturday after being admitted to hospital the day before. Marshall had had previous kidney problems.
His brothers Lindsay and Lyndon delivered his eulogy and revealed how the legendary bodybuilder got his famed nickname.
“He was called ‘The Beast’ not because he was a beast, but because when he set out to do something, he goes at it hard and all the way. With that mentality, he earned the title of ‘The Beast,’” said Lindsay.
