POE ON VACCINE NEGOTIATIONS:

We must be relentless in our pursuit of the vaccines, no matter the challenges along the way.

We count on the Department of Foreign Affairs to work side-by-side with the vaccine czar in embarking on a diplomatic offensive that would clearly relay our appeal to foreign nations for our rightful share of the lifesaving doses, being among the countries bearing the brunt of the killer disease.

The inequity in distribution and vaccination will not do the world good as the pandemic may continue to infect and delay a global economic recovery.

This is an unparalleled opportunity to make a renewed call to our allies for solidarity, compassion and cooperation.
