One thing is sure in this global pandemic brought about by
the novel coronavirus 2019 disease or COVID-19 and that is the race to discover
its cure through a vaccine is still a long way to go.
Be as it may President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has assured the
nation that once there is available vaccine we as a country can and will buy it
for our own use.
“(Pag) nakahanap na sila, kailangan may pera ako niyan kasi
bili kaagad tayo (Once they have developed one, we need to have money
because we would purchase it immediately),” Duterte said.

Developed
and technologically advanced countries are racing in their quest to find a cure
and from the address by the President the cure might be available in January
2021 at the very latest.
“Malapit
na sila sa vaccine (They’re close to developing a vaccine). I'm sure that
they have made a lot of progress in finding the vaccine,” he said.
“A pharmaceutical called Moderna…
I don’t know what is the legal residence of this corporation, but mayroon
na silang (but they have) tests showing positive results,” he said.
If the vaccine is successful by
2021, it would provide many Filipinos with immunity against the disease, the
President said.
The
President also reminded the public that the threat of COVID-19 is still high
despite the relaxed quarantine protocols being implemented in the different
parts of the country.
“Hanggang
hindi ka matusukan ng vaccine (Until you get injected with the vaccine), you are still
in danger. And even if you are really vaccinated, you are still put at risk if
you are not really careful. The corona(virus) will not disappear. It is here
for all time,” he said.
