The Department of Tourism on Wednesday evening released a lengthy statement addressing the concerns hounding the plan to construct a temporary mega vaccination center on its property at Entertainment City in Parañaque City.

Overnight reverse repurchase rate was maintained at 2% where it has been since November last year.

This is the first batch of Pfizer vaccines from the World Health Organization's COVAX Facility that was distributed to COVID-19 high-risk areas.

At least 30 organizations called on the government to halt the “ill-advised” plan to establish a temporary inoculation site, saying the facility will deepen vaccine inequity and defeat the purpose of the vaccination program.

“Whether or not this was affected by CREATE, we would have to wait for the IRR (implementing rules and regulations),” PEZA said.
