A police officer reminds people queuing for a COVID-19 vaccine to observe social distancing, outside a vaccination site on August 08, 2021 in Las Pinas, Metro Manila, Philippines. As a strict lockdown is reimposed in parts of the Philippines to curb the spread of the more contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus, Filipinos are defying curfew measures and flocking by the thousands to vaccination sites as early as midnight in hopes of getting vaccinated against COVID-19. The desperation comes after recent reports circulated that the government will not extend financial aid to unvaccinated individuals. While the presidential spokesperson denied this, President Rodrigo Duterte himself during one of his televised speeches that he will order police to jail unvaccinated individuals.
