Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia says the provincial government would rather spend on infrastructure projects, financial assistance to small businesses, and food security.

While a number of local government units across the country are setting aside big chunks of their budgets to procure COVID-19 vaccines, Cebu, one of the most populous provinces, would rather wait it out.

Garcia said she would wait for the coverage of the national government's vaccine rollout, and assess only after that where the provincial government should step in. Garcia said Cebu province would only set aside a budget for vaccine procurement if the need arises for LGUs to shoulder the doses for the remaining 30% of their populations." she said.

Garcia said LGUs didn’t have the authority to enter deals with vaccine manufacturers on their own, citing the protocol to enter into tripartite agreements with the supplier and the national government.

What do we expect from a person who believes in tuob?

and Cebu province ang richest province in the Philippines... kaya pala.. kung makakalibre naman pala ng china vaccine frm the national government.. why not... kahit na kaduda duda..

dont worry Cebu.. may china vaccines naman e...

Mao ni epekto sa tuob?😂😂

The cart before the horse? When we get a vaccine then there won't be a need to subsidie small businesses, starving people due to lockdown and financial aid. I guess there is more profits in infrastructure such as malls and condos. God knows she isn't spending on roads.

Tama naman ginagawa niya. National ang may responsibilidad.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Sorry Cebuanos you will have to suffer much longer than the rest of us. It's stupid as stupid does.

Let me understand this, is the economic impact of a lockdown cheaper than procuring some vaccine? What am I missing?

Anti vaxxer ka Gwen?

I'd do the same.
