Teodoro receives backlash after getting the COVID-19 vaccine in Davao City

The Department of Health (DoH) announced that it will work with Region 11 or Davao Region to determine whether former presidential candidate Gilbert "Gibo" Teodoro, Jr. and Camarines Sur First District Rep. Rolando "Nonoy" Andaya, Jr. violated the National Immunization Technical Advisory Group's (NITAG) Vaccination Priority Framework.

"The recent public statement of Pope Francis on recognizing same-sex CIVIL UNIONS is certainly a Bold one and must have been made only after much prayer and thought.

The biggest ones are China, India, and other industrialized countries. We are a victim of climate change, since we do not emit that much or even miniscule amount of the gases that damage the world, what should we be focusing on given our experience?
