THE CEBU Chamber of Commerce Industry (CCCI) has expressed its support to the government’s Covid vaccination program, saying, it is the only key to the country’s full economic recovery.
CCCI president Felix Taguiam said they have also encouraged member companies of CCCI to set aside a budget for the vaccination of their employees if they can.
“It is better to get vaccinated than no vaccine at all. We need it to move forward. We can’t stop anymore. The word lockdown is already allergic to us, businesses. It’s costing us money,” he said.
He said they confident about the government’s vaccination plan which aims to inoculate about 60 million Filipinos. “We are confident that the city and provincial governments are preparing for the vaccine rollout here,” Taguiam said.
Maria Padilla, assistant regional head of the National Economic and Development Authority in Central Visayas, also said that vaccination is essential to restore consumer confidence which is needed to pump-prime the economy.
“What we need to restore now is confidence in consumption. We need to move both sides, the supply and demand side, to pick up. And vaccination is what we need to improve confidence,” she said. (Carlo Lorenciana)
