IBP asks: ‘Why restrict movement of unvaxxed persons without law on mandatory vaccination?’

The Integrated Bar of the Philippines took up the cudgels for the country’s unvaccinated persons against policies and local ordinances which restrict their movements “despite lack of law” on mandatory vaccination against COVID-19.

“The unvaccinated are not absolutely prohibited from availing themselves of public transport, provided that they have passes to show that they are out to obtain essential goods and services, such as food and medicine; or that they have medical certifications showing that they could not be vaccinated for medical or health reasons,” Guevarra said.“The IBP understands that vaccination remains the primary scientific way out of this COVID-19 Pandemic.

The IBP said even the latest law, RA 11525 or the COVID-19 Vaccination Program Act of 2021, states that: “Provided, further, that the vaccine cards shall not be considered as an additional mandatory and other similar transaction purposes.” It noted that even RA 11332, RA 11469, RA 11494, and RA 11525 “do not contain any provision that will authorize the limitation of an individual’s right to travel or movement simply because that individual is unvaccinated.”

Guevarra had also explained that “common carriers are indeed open to everyone, but under our existing laws operators of common carriers are bound to carry their passengers safely to their destinations, and ‘safely’ means freedom not only from accidental injury but also from transmissible diseases.”

hwag na lng i-retrict ang galaw ng mga tao basta may sapat na pananggalang.
