MANILA, Philippines — Over half of Philippine chief executives are unhappy with the national government’s vaccine rollout, which is key to preventing future lockdowns that are highly disruptive to businesses, a new survey released Monday found.

 

Sixty-six percent of the country’s CEOs are “dissatisfied with the vaccine rollout in the Philippines,” according to a poll conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC Philippines) and Management Association of the Philippines (MAP), a business group.

 

The survey — which polled 178 CEOs of locally based companies, most of whom are members of MAP — was conducted from July to August, when Metro Manila and some provinces briefly returned to strict lockdowns amid a COVID-19 flare-up fueled by the highly-infectious Delta variant. Broken down, 62% of respondents were from large corporations while the rest belonged to micro, small and medium enterprises.
