Vice President Leni Robredo lamented the lack supply of coronavirus vaccines in Bicol region even at a time her home province saw surges in COVID-19 cases.
Robredo, a leader of the opposition, said she hoped the cities and provinces in Bicol will be given more vaccines against the deadly virus.
“Kulang na kulang iyong supply, na tumutulong na nga ako na mabigyan sila ng mas marami kasi may spike din eh, may spike din iyong number of cases (The supply is really lacking, that I’m already helping to give them more vaccines because of the spike in cases),” she said over dzXL Sunday, June 27.
In Naga City, the vice president cited her hometown only received the other day 1,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccines, which are not enough.
“The vaccine supply is less given the need. I hope we have more supply, so we have more people to be vaccinated. It will be faster,” Robredo said in Filipino.
The Office of the Vice President (OVP) is extending a hand to the Bicol region in response to the pandemic since it is considered an “area of concern” for lack of health facilities.
