Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship Joey Concepcion: Pharma companies will not sell to us if there is no indemnification. The private sector cannot form the indemnification. That's why we formed this tripartite agreement.
Concepcion: The gov't did not ask us for vaccine donation. We're paying for the logistics and handling costs for the vaccines that the private sector will procured.
Concepcion: donated 50% of our vaccine doses to the gov't not because we are forced, but we want to help vaccinate our medical frontliners.
Concepcion on having a new leadership in vaccine procurement: No, we don't need. Sec. Galvez is doing a good job. We're now in the implementation stage and given the liberty to choose our logistics handler.
Maureen Belen on how she became part of TNT Tropang GIGA coaching staff: I got a phone call from @coachot. He's been mentoring me since last year.
Belen: Women are very noticeable for being emotional. Maybe I can help in the emotional strength of the players pre and post game.
Belen: Marami pa tayong bigas na kakainin. I'm very excited to be in court.
Belen: The opportunity given to me is once-in-a-lifetime. I'm always excited for women to join the country's cage league.
Belen on challenges faced by women coaches in sports: The inequality is in our face. To all the women there, keep pushing and keep doing what you love to do. Even if no one's watching, just keep working hard. That role you're praying can be given one day.
Belen on how Filipina ballers can excel more in int'l level: Chance and trust. These two things are what we need to put us there in the spotlight.
Belen: I hope we can invite more Fil-Am female ballers to play for the country and female coaches to guide our players.
