@jmnpunzalan Roque says "there is no deception" in gov't presentation of #COVID19 vaccination figures.

Some officials have repeatedly said the Philippines is among top ASEAN countries in terms of vaccines administered. But the PH ranks lower if the basis is percent of population vaccinated.

@jmnpunzalan The 9.3 million figure for #COVID19 vaccine arrival was as of June 6. The Philippines has since taken delivery of 1 million Sinovac shots, around 2.279 million Pfizer doses, and 100,000 Sputnik V jabs. | via @jmnpunzalan #COVID19VaccinePH
