Meanwhile, Roxas City Mayor Ronnie Dadivas said he is happy with the status of COVID-19 cases in the city.
But he advised the public not to be complacent because the deadly virus will eventually show up and spread any time.
The mayor said that the city government has allocated funds in the 2021 budget for the purchase of vaccines.
He said a meeting with the city and municipal mayors will be held today January 13, 2021 to discuss the vaccine procurement.
Dadivas is hoping that the national government will augment the city’s budget for the purchase of the vaccine.
He added that the senior citizens, persons with disabilities, frontliners, uniformed personnel, and government workers will be the priority in the vaccination.
