Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque said that requiring beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program to get vaccinated against the coronavirus disease first before receiving subsidies is reasonable but said the law may be amended before this can happen.Roque made the statement after Interior Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya said in a radio interview that the government was looking at excluding 4Ps beneficiaries from receiving subsidies if they do not get vaccinated against COVID-19.
“Baka kinakailangan amendahan po ang batas. Kasi ang batas ang nagsasabi kung sino ang entitled sa 4Ps ,” Roque said. “That is a suggestion na dapat pong pag-aralan pa ng DSWD dahil ang DSWD naman po ay, sang-ayon sa batas, ang implementing agency ng 4Ps ,” he said.
