Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque seemed to take a swipe at TV host and actor Vice Ganda for the later statement regarding the COVID-19 vaccine. In an earlier statement, Vice said that we should be given the right to choose what vaccine to use.
On Twitter, Vice tweeted the following:
“Sa sabong panlaba nga choosy tayo e sa bakuna pa kaya. Ano to basta may maisaksak lang?! Vaklang twoooaahhh!!!”

During an online press conference, Roque clarified that the vaccines will undergo tests to be conducted by experts:
“Mali namang ikumpara ang bakuna sa sabong panlaba. Ang katunayan po, wala namang supply na ganoon kadami. Kung hindi pagtitiwalaan ang mga experts, na tatlong batches pa ng experts pa ang magsasabing pwede natin gamitan yan… sino ang ating pagkakatiwalaan? Siguro po, hindi mga komendyante.”
Although Roque did not mention the name of Vice, netizens believed Roque was alluding to Vice.
