PRESIDENT Ferdinand ‘Bongbong’ Marcos Jr. urged students to get their Covid19 booster shots before the beginning of the school year on August 22.

“Una na riyan ‘yung panigurong nakapag-booster shot na ang lahat lalong-lalo na ang ating mga kabataan para siguradong handa ang pangangatawan nila sa pagbabalik-eskuwela,” Marcos said.

He said that 15.9 million Filipinos have so far received their booster shot, while 1.2 million got their booster dose.

“Hindi pa ito magandang numero kumpara sa target natin na 100 percent kaya hindi tayo magsasawa na pakiusapan ang ating mga LGU na maging mas agresibo dito sa kampanyang ito,” the President said.

The President also encouraged public transit companies to adhere to minimal health and safety regulations.

He added that if the face-to-face classes is effective, it may result in a more strong economy.
