Today’s segment of USWAG, Pinas! Special Edition highlights the ‘Resbakuna sa Botika’, a vaccination drive of the national government in partnership with the private pharmacies and clinic networks within Metro Manila, with the aim to increase the Filipino people’s willingness to be inoculated with COVID-19 boosters.

The participating drugstores and clinics include Mercury Drug, Watsons, Southstar Drug, TGP, Generika, Healthway, and Qualimed.

Derived from the Bisayan term ‘uswag’ which means progress, this special edition of the social media program aims to inform viewers about the ongoing mass immunization in different communities across the nation, the tireless efforts of health care workers and medical frontliners in battling the public health crisis, and interviews from inoculated Filipinos and medical experts on the benefits of getting the jab to further boost vaccine confidence amongst the people.

USWAG, Pinas! Special Edition is a flagship program of the Presidential Broadcast Staff – Radio Television Malacañang (RTVM).
