Speaker Lord Allan Velasco and two congressmen file a bill allowing LGUs to buy COVID-19 vaccines directly from manufacturers without public bidding.

It is "wrong and misleading" to attribute all road accidents to poorly maintained vehicles, Senate President Pro Tempore Ralph Recto said, in shooting down a "favorite selling point" of owners of Private Motor Vehicle Inspection Centers.

Velasco's measure provides exemptions to compliance by LGUs with the procurement requirements under Republic Act 9184 or the Government Procurement Reform Act in the purchase of Covid-19 vaccines and other much-needed supplies during the pandemic.
