MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Philippines is never behind when it comes to progress in the Southeast Asian region — from the economy to tourism to technological advances.

Even in the field of medical science, especially in the light of the coronavirus pandemic, the Philippines leads its Southeast Asian neighbors when it comes to the development of Covid-19 vaccines.

While Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia are in Phase 1, 2, or 3 in Covid-19 vaccine development, the Philippines is now on Phase Shield which now covers the country’s entire population.

What a feat!
