Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III on Wednesday said there is a need to apologize to the public due to the lack of information drive regarding the policy barring unvaccinated people against COVID-19 from using public transport.

“I think there's a reason for us to apologize to the public for that kasi [because], as I was telling Secretary Karlo [Nograles], kailangan pa ng [we need] massive information drive about this policy,” Bello told CNN Philippines.The clarification was made amid video of a partially vaccinated worker whoHe said implementers of the policy might have just forgotten that workers are spared from it.

“Mas maganda sana kung meron silang [it would be better if they have] certification from their employers na sila ay empleyado [proving they are employees] and they’re reporting to office, but I think for the moment, that company ID will suffice,” Bello said. He added that employers have the privilege to require unvaccinated workers to get RT-PCR test to prevent the spread of the virus in workplaces.

Jusko. Walang masama sa pag iisip muna ng mabuti tungkol sa isang policy. Hindi niyo kailangan magpasikat by putting out policies na haphazardly created para lang masabing may ginawa kayo. Lalong kawawa kami sa kalokohan ninyo.

Patawa naman kayo. e di bale wala. Nakahalo din yung unvaxxed sa vaxxed. Sa risk sa infection at risk sa pag spread ng infection, ano kaibahan ng unvaxxed na walang trabaho sa unvaxxed na may trabaho? Ayusin niyo muna and make sure na ayon sa batas gagawin niyo.

And then compensate for those people who weren't able to go to work
