Duque made the remark after Senator Panfilo Lacson claimed that the country would have secured the delivery of 10 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer as early as January next year if Duque had worked on documentary requirements needed for the deal. FEATURED STORIESHe said there was nothing binding as to the number of doses that would be provided by Pfizer. “The thing is I do not recall that na mayroong ganoong definitive, na, ‘ah makakakuha tayo ng (we will get) 10 million doses.’ There was nothing like that. We—Babe Romualdez and I—got 10 million doses of Pfizer financed by World Bank and ADB to be shipped thru FedEx to Clark (airport) in January,” Locsin tweeted. You have to be prudent and cautious especially because you are talking about a brand new, novel vaccine at that,” said Duque.
