MANILA - An official of the Management Association of the Philippines said on Wednesday that the government should not “hinge” the country’s economic recovery on China’s possible discovery of a vaccin

e against COVID-19.

MAP president Francis Lim said he doubts that Philippines would get preferential treatment from China. During his fifth State of the Nation Address, Duterte said he asked Chinese President Xi Jinping to prioritize the Philippines once China develops a vaccine. But Lim said that China, which has a population of more than 1.3 billion, will likely prioritize its citizens before giving the vaccine to other countries. The MAP official added that the Philippines should look at other countries’ efforts to develop a vaccine.

He said that under the MECQ that will be in effect until Aug. 18, the economy is estimated to lose around P12 billion per day. But in the ECQ imposed from mid-March to May, the economy was losing between P19 billion to P20 billion per day.
