NCR mayors to discuss need for uniform policy vs. vaccine selling
Metro Manila mayors will discuss the need for a uniform ordinance against the selling of COVID-19 vaccines or vaccination slots.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) chairperson Benjamin Abalos Jr. stated that the proposal was discussed during a Metro Manila Council meeting.
Mayors cited existing laws that already penalize the illicit selling of vaccines, such as estafa and swindling.
The Metro Manila Council decided to refer reported cases of illegal vaccine selling in their jurisdictions to their respective city legal officers for review.
A suspect in an alleged vaccine selling incident surrendered to Mandaluyong Mayor Menchie Abalos and the MMDA, but denied the allegations and refused to identify their source.
