SENATOR Christopher ‘Bong’ Go urged the government to thoroughly study the planned conduct of pilot face-to-face classes in schools, saying only vaccinated students should be allowed to participate.

Go expressed reservations on the holding of physical classes, pointing out that younger students have yet to be vaccinated against Covid19.

“Sa mga bata, takot talaga ako.. unang-una hindi sila bakunado. Pangalawa, hindi natin kontrolado ‘yung galaw nila,” the senator said.

“Pangatlo, back to zero na naman tayo kung magkahawahan sa eskwela, tumataas ‘yung kaso, may Delta cases, mahirap po. So dapat po balansehin muna ang lahat, unahin natin ang buhay at kalusugan ng bawat Pilipino,” he added.

Palace Spokesman Harry Roque earlier said that President Rodrigo Duterte may allow limited  in-person classes in 120 schools.

The limited face-to-face classes have been approved in principle by the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Disease.

Go earlier voiced support to proposals to grant incentives to fully vaccinated individuals to encourage more Filipinos to get jabs.
