METRO MANILA – Russia, the first country in the world to grant regulatory approval for a COVID-19 vaccine, has offered to supply or co-manufacture the vaccine in the Philippines.
Impressed by what Russia was able to accomplished, President Rodrigo Duterte has welcomed the development of the vaccines, so much so that he is willing to participate in the trials.
“I can be the first they can experiment on.” He added
Duterte said that he will personally tell Putin that he has huge trust in the study and believes that the vaccine produced is good for humanity.
