KURSUNADA ni Pangulong Rodrigo Roa Duterte na bumili ng vaccine kontra COVID-19 mula sa Russia at China.
Subalit, kailangan lamang ani Pangulong Duterte na ang vaccine na magmumula sa mga bansang ito ay “equally good and effective” gaya ng ibang vaccine na inimbento ng ibang bansa.
“We cannot be complacent. I said by December there will be some I think trials. No, ganito ha, if the vaccine of Russia and China are equally good and effective, just like any other vaccine invented by any country, I will buy first. But then alam mo I hope that the Chinese and Russian government that when we buy, we have to go into a bidding,” ayon sa Pangulo sa kanyang public address, Lunes ng gabi.
“So the Russian and the pharmaceutical companies of China can very well join us,” dagdag na pahayag ng Pangulo.
Ito ay dahil nang maghirap aniya ang Pilipinas ay ang mga bansang ito rin ang tumulong.
“The only country that offered to help initially and said, “Do not worry when we invent one, we’d give you” was Russia then China. China naman, the one good thing about China is you do not have to beg, you do not have to plead,” anito.
Hindi aniya kagaya ng ibang bansa na gusto agad ay cash advance bago pa mag-deliver ng vaccine.
“Eh kung ganun, patay tayong lahat. Every Filipino will die I can assure you.
Hindi naman binanggit ng Pangulo ang Western companies dahil baka aniya magpapa-advertise ang mga ito.
“That’s one thing wrong about the Western countries — it’s all profit, profit, profit. There’s a pandemic and you say that, “Okay we have the — we have something for sale or something to sell to you.” And marinig mo, maligaya ka only to be — only to collapse when the next sentence is said “pero magbayad kayo ng cash advance bago kami magpadala.” litanya ng Pangulo.
