He cited the Bocaue Municipal Jail in Bulacan and the Bataan District Jail for vaccinating 100 percent of their PDLs. “Kung ang ating mga LGUs ay hindi makakalimutan ang kanilang mga constituents na nasa loob ng mga district, city at municipal jails natin, malaking bagay iyon para kay BJMP ,” he said.
