The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) may implement “no vaccine, no subsidy” for unvaccinated beneficiaries of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps).
Many 4Ps beneficiaries still refuse to get vaccinated against COVID-19, according to DILG Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya.
That puts the agency in proposing to “disincentivize” the unvaccinated government aid recipients.
“Ang 4Ps naman, kaya nga ‘yan tinatawag na conditional cash transfer kasi para makuha mo ang regular mong subsidiya sa pamahalaan ng may mga kondisyon ‘di ba,” Malaya said.
“Pumupunta ka sa health center, nagpapa deworm ka, ‘yung mga anak mo pinapasok mo sa eskwelahan, naka-enroll. So dadagdagan pa natin ng isa pang kondisyon which is pagbabakuna,” dagdag ng undersecretary.
National Task Force Against COVID-19 spokesperson Restituto Padilla Jr. said that the government is now discussing how it can implement mandatory vaccination against COVID-19.
