Well, it’s not a free trip, but this group of private businesses want to dangle rewards to help encourage Filipinos to get vaccinated.
Ingat Angat, a private-sector initiative that has been campaigning to get the economy up and running again, has gathered dozens of retailers to offer “Bakuna Benefits” for people who can show their vaccine cards.
Vaccine hesitancy has been identified as a problem, with a February 2021 survey by Pulse Asia showing that 6 out of 10 Filipinos did not want to get vaccinated.
All the Bakuna Benefits offers may be viewed on the Ingat Angat website, but here’s a sampler of some of the rewards offered to those who have received their jabs:
