Founder & CEO Avin Ong states, “This initiative by the company is not just for its employees, but to also encourage and inspire other SMEs to consider doing the same effort for their workers.” Ong further clarifies that vaccination will not be mandatory and will follow the guidelines issued by the DOH and DOLE.
In an exclusive interview with Avin, he shared that their target vaccination is in the 3rd quarter of 2021 since a deal with Moderna has been signed already.

He also added that there is no limit for family members of their employees and they will source and allot vaccines even for big families.
When asked about how many employees already signed up for the vaccination program, Avin said “For the company owned, 50% palang ang willing but we are still educating them further by having briefings because some are really scared”.
