A BUSINESS leader is reminding political candidates to prioritize the vaccination rollout amid the expected busy activities leading to the national elections next year.

Filipino Cebuano Business Club Inc. chairman Rey Calooy said politicians should not forget that the Covid-19 battle isn’t over and this is the biggest battle the country must win.

“It is expected that politicians will be busy for the upcoming elections but they shouldn’t forget about this pandemic and how badly our economy needs to recover,” said Calooy.

He reminded politicians not to forget about the country’s fight against Covid-19 and its goal to inoculate majority of the country’s population.

“Our economy needs to fully recover and this can only be done by continuing the programs we have started. We just hope our politicians, even how busy they are with their respective campaigns, should never forget about getting more people to be vaccinated and reminding them to strictly follow health protocols,” he said.

Calooy said campaign sorties should be regulated to avoid the spread of Covid-19.

“We can’t anymore afford another lockdown. We all need to be responsible,” he said.
