What happened now to the RA 11035 -"An Act Institutionalizing the Balik Scientist Program" signed by PRRD on 15 June 2018, in line to The Fabunan Doctors Invention of a possible cure for Covid19?
Just an excerpt to RA 11035 background that ciculated in news;
Science and technology in the country scored another milestone with the signing of the Balik Scientist law by President Rodrigo Roa A. Duterte on 15 June 2018. Republic Act No. 11035, also known as an “Act Institutionalizing the Balik Scientist Program,” would give more incentives to returning Filipino experts, scientists, inventors, and engineers who would share their expertise in the country.
The enacted law would strengthen the implementation of the Department of Science and Technology’s (DOST) Balik Scientist Program which was first established in 1975 through Presidential Decree No. 819 but was only implemented in 1986. Since its implementation, several scientists have come back to the country on short- and long-term basis to mentor science and engineering students and faculty along their line of expertise through research and development, teaching, and other activities. This sharing of expertise significantly contributed to the acceleration of the scientific, agro-industrial and economic development of the country.
Now, most of our Government Officials and as well as our Citizen is questioning the back ground of the Fabunan Family and to enlighten all below are members of the Fabunan Family involved in inventing and developing the possible cure for Covid19.

Our question now is instead of supporting our local invention that is purely Filipino made, why DOH is still opting for a foreign vaccine?
