President Rodrigo Duterte seemed to not be able to make up his mind.
To show gratitude to Russia, he volunteered that he will get the country’s developed vaccine. He then announced that he will do so in public to boost people’s confidence in the government’s immunization drive.
However, in a recent public address, the president changed his mind stating he would be the last to take the vaccine and would prefer that the frontliners such as health workers be the first.
Now, the Palace has announced that the President will get his shots in private, stating that he will be injected in his buttocks.
This led to actress Agot Isidro calling out the president by posting on her Twitter account that Vice President Kamala Harris of the United States has taken her second shot of the vaccine in public.
After Pres. Duterte’s desire to keep his vaccination private, his ‘BFF’ China started using anal swab tests for high-risk people for Covid.
According to the article, the method is used to increase the detection rate of the virus in those infected. It is such a coincidence that the president wanted his shots to be done in his buttocks and his ‘BFF’ conducts anal swab tests.

While the Philippines’ president wants his vaccine shot in private, many world leaders have conducted their inoculation against the virus in plain sight. This is to build public confidence in the vaccines. However, Pres. Duterte has other plans as he resorted to keeping it private, which many Filipinos became suspicious as to why.
Meanwhile, writer and political activist Lualhati Bautista, does not care whether the president gets his vaccine shots in his butt. What Bautista wants is to see Pres. Duterte’s Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth or SALN which he has kept hidden up until now; what happened with the missing 15 billion Philhealth fund which was stolen; the win against China over the West Philippine Sea; and the actual price of the Sinovac vaccine.
