Kouame on Gilas Pilipinas: We have so many different players from different schools. We are like a family. It seems like an Ateneo family because we know each other and we have so much chemistry.
Health reform advocate Dr. Mike Vergara: You can use a combination of signing up online so that the LGU has an idea of how many people are willing to get vaccinated (and walk-in)… The key is to be able to control.
