saying that he is banking on his popularity there to push for an earlier arrival of the jabs to the country.
“Prangka ako magsalita, sumulat ako dahil medyo nababagalan ako [sa] pag-deliver ng vaccine dito satin, yung ibang bansa, massive na yung vaccination nila [Speaking frankly, I wrote a letter because I feel that the delivery of vaccines is slow for the Philippines, the other countries are already imposing massive vaccination drive],” the senator said.
Pacquiao said he talked to Philippine Ambassador to the U.S. Jose Romualdez about his plan to write to Biden about the delivery of Moderna’s jab to the Philippines. “Sinusubukan natin, we do our best na baka makatulong, baka mapagbigyan tayo na mas mapaaga yung pag-deliver ng vaccine [We are trying, we do our best to help, maybe they can do us a favor of delivering us the vaccine as early as possible],” he added.
