I wouldn't be surprised if the City government did something cheap and efficient to accommodate frontliners and then the more exposed citizens. Not sure what if the policy would privilege locals over foreigners... It is as good a place as any to live, and better than some. The cost of the 600,000 vaccines is not actually prohibitive - 18M dollars is not beyond the reach IF you can get enough support from the business community and the richer families. It sounds like he was able to do do. Let's see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the noise the Davaoenos made during Duterte's campaign, about how safe and progressive Davao City has been under Rody, when I visited Iloilo I noticed that everything about it is smarter, classier, cleaner, more efficient...and they don't even make such a fuss about it. I'd love to move there one day... My wife inherited a land in Mandurriao. Let's see if I can convince her...

I'm sure there are better but it's fine for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffH Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 1 hour ago, Explorer said: "vaccine certificate"... LOL... People who got vaccinated still need to wear a face mask, social distance and according to the CDC, need to get a PCR test 72 hours before flying into the US. Vaccination is only one part of the layered defence against Covid, it is reasonable to maintain the others whilst the vaccine is still circulating. I wouldn't be surprised to see Covid become a seasonable disease eventually with vaccination being something taken by older citizens on a yearly basis (in the same way that Hong Kong flu did after 1967). But that is years off. That doesn't mean that vaccine certificates (or vaccine visas if you prefer) won't be required for international travel, many airlines have already said that they'll be requiring them on certain routes in the near future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the first batches of Covid PCR testing kits arrived in Manila, I remember some Chinese private hospitals offering them for $150 USD a piece. Private PCR tests are available worldwide and have been since the start. Vaccine is a totally different issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads, you get some side effects, tails, you don't... Everything I've read regarding vaccine purchases either by government, local or national and private companies has been with the likes of pfizer or moderna but predominantly with Astra Zeneca that is their preference Chinese vaccines are mentioned as a little aside with no deals announced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry P Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 Just a thought With all this yearly registration going on right now has anyone asked any questions about the overstay issue with your local friendly officials May not be the official line but maybe an indication of how this issue is going to pan out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
