MANILA, Philippines — The country’s health chief on Monday denied that the government had “dropped the ball again”— this time for the opportunity to obtain millions of syringes needed for the vaccination program as alleged by the nation’s top diplomat.

 

Over the weekend, Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. tweeted that the Philippine government agencies refused to discuss an offer of 50 million syringes. He, however, did not specify those involved.

 

“Hindi totoo ‘yun. Kasinungalingan ‘yun, puro kasinungalingan ‘yun,” DOH Secretary Francisco Duque III said in an interview on dzBB.
