CEBU CITY, Philippines - As far as Cebu province is concerned, the presentation of vaccination cards will not be required when traveling, getting a job, and even entering inside

Garcia said she opposes the use of vaccination cards as a condition for employment, use of public transportation, and in transacting with government offices, among others, saying it runs contrary to what was stipulated on the COVID-19 Vaccination Program Act of 2021. The governor also went on saying that existing policies that mandate individuals to present vaccination cards as conditions for use of public spaces “were discriminatory.”

Sec. 12 of the law, which defines the COVID-19 Vaccination Card, states that “the vaccine cards shall not be considered as an additional mandatory requirement for educational, employment and other similar government transaction purposes.” “This is the law and unless this law is amended… So let me make this very clear, from my interpretation of the law which has proven itself to be stated in very clear terms and has no ambiguity whatsoever: there can be no mandatory requirement of vaccination cards for entry to any establishments,” she said.
