Rep Rodriguez urges VP Robredo to expand Vaccine Express to Visayas, Mindanao

Cagayan de Oro Representative Rufus Rodriguez urged Vice President Leni Robredo to expand her #VaccineExpress project to the Visayas and Mindanao.

Rodriguez confirmed a meeting with Robredo's camp to finalize the expansion of the #VaccineExpress program to Cagayan de Oro.

He stated that requests for vaccines would be made to the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF).

OCTA Research had previously identified Cagayan de Oro as an area of concern, along with Davao City, Bacolod, Iloilo, and Tacloban.

Rodriguez had previously pointed out that vaccine supply had improved in the province after he raised concerns about the COVID-19 situation in Mindanao.

Earlier, Robredo suggested that Davao City learn from Cebu City's experience to address rising COVID-19 cases.

Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte criticized Robredo's statement, questioning her understanding of the Mindanao situation.
