Mon Tulfo, a foul-mouthed, haughty broadcaster, admits he received an illegally imported Sinopharm vaccine last October 2020.
He wrote he “risked (his) life” because he “applied to be one of the distributors of the Sinopharm vaccine in the country.”
"Kung effective sa akin, malamang effective sa mamamayan. I'm 74 with lots of allergies."
"I got it from a friend who smuggled it into the country."
