Sen. Francis Tolentino backs call of the private sector to make COVID-19 vaccinations mandatory to help the country achieve herd immunity and pull the economy out of recession. | @PaoloSRomero

@PaoloSRomero Tolentino says mandatory vaccination is part of the police powers of the State to protect public health, to secure public safety, and to control the spread of dangerous diseases. | @PaoloSRomero

@PaoloSRomero Tolentino: As long as the vaccination is not done in an arbitrary or oppressive manner, and not beyond what is reasonably required for the safety of all, it (mandatory vaccination) is constitutional. | @PaoloSRomero

@PaoloSRomero Tolentino: I support the call of the private sector as it will help revive the economy. Salus populi suprema lex esto (The welfare of the people is the supreme law). | @PaoloSRomero
