the mayor has a report on what they plan to do, but alas in Tagalog.
Bulacan is on strict quarantine along with the Manila region

Senator Lacson points fingers.
this is a big propaganda win for China, who is donating vaccines while the European left wing press insists the problem is the evil west won't send their vaccines.
Background is that the ten million doses of the Pfizer vaccine wasn't sent here in January because someone in the government didn't sign the paperwork. Is there a connection here?
India has offered 8 million doses but is awaiting the Philippine government to do the paper work.

we expect a lot of propaganda about how nice China is to send us vaccine, in order to distract people from noticing their increase aggression in the West Philippine Sea
and just to make things worse: the Taal Volcano is acting up again.
