MANILA, Philippines — Mayors who skipped the line for COVID-19 vaccination could be suspended or removed from office, a DILG official said Thursday. In a Laging Handa briefing, DILG Undersecretary Epimaco Densing III said Parañaque Mayor Edwin Olivarez will be the latest to be issued a show-cause order. "We will send — hopefully, by this afternoon — the show-cause order for Mayor Olivarez," he said in Filipino. Olivarez added too that it was not only Fernandez who was vaccinated as a substitute on that day. Mayors who received show-cause orders will be given three working days to respond, according to Densing.
