Walang corruption, wala lahat kasi government-to-government,"He told Health Secretary Francisco Duque III to tell health department officials to prioritize a government-to-government arrangement.

"We had a meeting with Ambassador Huang. He said that the vaccine is there. It will be in a matter of how to distribute and, of course, what kind of transaction would it be for them and for us. I said [government-to-government] for the Philippines because it will do away with corruption," said Duterte.
Since puro private company ang nag dedevelop nang vaccine sa Europe, America at Japan, so either Russia at China lang na vaccine gagamitin nang mga Pinoy at Pinay?
To the appointees in-charge of gov-to-gov transaction it’s your turn to open your corrupt pockets!👏🏼 I have no trust in this corrupt administration.
