MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 President Rodrigo R. Duterte is \u201cmost hopeful\u201d about the potential coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) vaccine being developed by China, Malaca\u00f1ang said Thursday.<\/p>\n

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said Duterte prefers a China-made vaccine even as several countries are on a race to be the first to come up with a vaccine against Covid-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President is most hopeful with China but he has also said that Johnson and Johnson is on track,\u201d Roque said in a virtual Palace briefing.<\/p>\n

Citing reports, he said Moderna\u2019s potential vaccine is also showing \u201cvery promising results.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMayroon pong<\/em>\u00a0latest information on Moderna,\u00a0mukha daw pong<\/em>\u00a0it has very promising results\u00a0doon sa kaniyang<\/em>\u00a0third phase\u00a0ng<\/em>\u00a0clinical trials (There is latest information on Moderna. It seems like its third phase of clinical trials is showing very promising results),\u201d Roque said.<\/p>\n

He said the governments of the Philippines and Russia are also coordinating on the latter\u2019s potential Covid-19 vaccine, Sputnik V, since clinical trials will take place in both countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cNakikipag-ugnayan pa rin po tayo dahil kinakailangan dumaan pa rin sa<\/em>\u00a0(We are also coordinating with the Russian authorities as far as the Russian Sputnik is concerned because it still needs to undergo) third clinical trial both in Russia and in the Philippines,\u201d Roque said.<\/p>\n

He also mentioned the potential vaccine being developed in England but clinical trials were temporarily stopped.<\/p>\n

Roque said the global race to develop a Covid-19 vaccine would benefit countries like the Philippines.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow\u00a0alam ninyo naman po kasi ang<\/em>\u00a0nature\u00a0ng<\/em>\u00a0pharmaceutical industries,\u00a0nag-uunahan po iyan,<\/em>\u00a0which is good for us.\u00a0Nag-uunahan iyan at alam po nila kung sino mauna, sila po iyong kikita nang pinakamalaki<\/em>\u00a0(You know the nature of pharmaceutical industries, they\u2019re racing to develop a vaccine, which is good for us. They\u2019re on a race because they know that the first one to make it would earn the most),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Roque noted that the country would be putting its hopes that a vaccine would be developed without too much delay.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cSo let\u2019s hope that the free market this time will really come to our rescue and will incentivize the drug manufacturers to come up with (a) vaccine sooner than later,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Duterte earlier said the government would purchase the most affordable vaccine that will be sold due to budget constraints.<\/p>\n

He also said he would seek a discount from China and Russia on the Covid-19 vaccines that each of the two countries developed and promised to supply the Philippines with.<\/p>\n

Despite lacking funds, the President assured that the government would provide free vaccines to the disadvantaged once these are available.<\/p>\n

In his first speech before the United Nations General Assembly, Duterte called for \u201cuniversal access\u201d to a Covid-19 vaccine, saying it is the only way to beat the pandemic.<\/p>\n

He emphasized the need for \u201crich and poor nations\u201d to have access to the vaccine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
