SOTTO TUTOL SA ‘NO VAX, NO RIDE’ POLICY

TINUTULAN ni Senate President Vince Sotto III ang “No Vaccine, No Ride” Policy ng administrasyon at sa halip ay gumawa ng paraan para mahikayat ang publiko na magpabakuna laban sa COVID-19.

Inilarawan ni Sotto ang naturang polisiya bilang “diskriminasyon.” Sinabi rin niya na ito ay mag-uudyok lamang ng sama ng loob sa mga hindi nabakunahan.

“There should be no discrimination among the riding public. Instead of barring them from riding public transports, DOTr should come up with brighter ideas on how to protect the unvaxxed from the deadly virus. For example, in trains or in PUBs, designated coaches or buses should be designated for riders who have not been jabbed,” sabi ni Sotto.

“There are many options, but to destabilize the means of transportation of our people should not be the only option. Think. Explore. There are plenty of other ways to fight the pandemic,” dagdap pa nito. “For example, in trains or in PUBs, designated coaches or buses should be designated for riders who have not been jabbed,” dagdag niya.
