MANILA - Philippine Coast Guard members are hesitant in getting vaccinated against COVID-19, a spokesman said Monday, citing an internal survey.

The PCG will conduct another survey for the agency’s staff nationwide as personnel deployed at the frontlines have yet to join the survey, according to spokesperson Commodore Armando Balilo.

It will also launch an information campaign on the COVID-19 vaccines, he added.

“Marami ang may ayaw. Baka hindi pa na-explain ng maayos bago kami nag-survey sa opisina. In my opinion, dapat naka-vaccine na lahat ng frontliners," he said.

(Many personnel don't want it. Maybe because it wasn't explained well before the survey. In my opinion, all frontliners should be vaccinated.)

The agency's assets, which include 9 ships and 300 small boats, are ready for the last-mile transport of the vaccines in the country, Balilo said.

"Magbibigay kami ng kasiguraduhan na makakarating ang vaccine. May freezer. Basta hindi masasayang ang vaccine sa ilog, sa dagat," he said.

(We assure the public that the vaccines will get to them. We have a freezer. The vaccine won't be wasted during its transportation across rivers, across seas.)

The Philippines expects to get its initial batch of 117,000 COVID-19 shots from Pfizer this month but this was delayed due to an absence of an indemnification program, said vaccine czar Secretary Carlito Galvez.

“Nag-stay ako sa Bulacan with my family and siya sa Paranaque and I would still cook for him. Pinost ko lang sa local page, Facebook page. May nag-order. Tapos from one order nagmultiply na siya and hindi na nagstop and then hayun na, the rest is history na,” pagbabahagi ni Camille kay Migs Bustos para sa programang “My Puhunan: Kaya Mo!”.

Ibinebenta ni Camille ang baked mac recipe ng kaniyang ina na hindi niya sukat akalain na papatok sa mga netizen.

Mula sa pag-aalok nito mag-isa online, naging katuwang niya kalaunan si Miguel sa negosyo.

“Nag-resign ako sa work ko, and then naghanap ako ng apartment near their house. That’s the risk I was willing to take kasi ang laki ng tiwala ko sa kaniya,” ani Paolo.

Halos 4 taon na sa negosyo ang kanilang baked mac at chicken business na may mga branches na sa loob at labas ng Metro Manila.

Tunghayan ang kanilang inspiring business story dito lang sa ‘My Puhunan: Kaya Mo!’ kasama si Migs Bustos.
