Presidential adviser on entrepreneurship Jose Ma. Concepcion III has urged ASEAN countries to manufacture anti-viral pills and vaccines to ensure continued domestic growth amid the pandemic and the economic impact from the Ukraine-Russia conflict.
“Anti viral pills had to be produced in ASEAN and hopefully we develop our own vaccines for whatever variant that will come in the future,” Concepcion said in a speech at the virtual ASEAN-Japan Business Meeting on Thursday, March 10. None of the 10 ASEAN countries and its economic partner Japan is producer of own vaccine or anti-viral pills.
But since COVID-19 was new there was little knowledge about it and the developing countries rely on the supply of vaccines, treatments, medical equipment, and test kits from the developed countries. Today, the Philippines has 71 percent vaccination rate with the National Capital Region at higher 90 percent.
