The Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte said during a pre-recorded televised public address that people who are not willing to get vaccinated will be arrested. He asked the vaccine decliners to “go to India if you want or somewhere, to America." The Philippines is among the worst-hit countries in Southeast Asia in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. While addressing the nation, Rodrigo Duterte said, “Don’t get me wrong. There is a crisis being faced in this country. There is a national emergency. If you don’t want to get vaccinated, I will have you arrested. And I will inject the vaccine in your butt. You are pests. We are already suffering and you’re adding to the burden.”
