Isko Moreno Lambasts Senators Encouraging Use of Unregistered COVID-19 Vaccines

Isko Moreno: “Walang senador na magsasabi na hindi puwede mag-FDA”

Mayor Isko Moreno lambasted the senators who are encouraging the use of unregistered COVID-19 vaccines.

The Manila mayor was furious at “some senators” who encourage the use of unregistered vaccines against coronavirus even without approval from the Food and Drug and Administration (FDA).

“Walang presidente, walang mayor, walang senador na magsasabi na hindi puwede mag-FDA. Hindi po, may batas po,” he said.

“Kaya ‘yung mga tolongges na ‘yan at saka ‘yung ilang senador diyan nagsasabi na hindi kailangan ng FDA, eh kailangan po. Huwag nating hihikayatin’ yung mga illegal,” he added.

While Isko Moreno did not mention any names, Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa made the rounds online on Sunday after expressing his willingness to be vaccinated even without FDA approval.

“FDA-approved o hindi, buhay ko ito, wala akong pakialam diyan sa FDA kung i-approve nila o hindi yan basta buhay ko nakasalalay, I have to decide for my own life,” the PNP chief-turned-senator said.

Dela Rosa noted that the FDA approval is for the sake of “formality” since that the vaccine has already been approved from the country wherein it originated.

Isko Moreno aired his statement regarding unregistered vaccination in lieu of allegedly unauthorized vaccination activity in Binondo.

“Yang mga tolongges na ‘yan, ‘pag natyempuhan ko ‘yan, ihaharap ko sa inyo. Awa ng Diyos, wala eh. Inaabatan namin,” he said.

“Simula nang nabalitaan ko ‘yan ng first day, sa totoo lang, ako mismo nanggigigil eh. Unang-una panloloko ‘yan,” he added.
