‘Subic Freeport back, vibrant again’ - SBMA chair
SUBIC, Zambales-- Subic Bay Freeport Zone has opened for leisure, travel, and dine with almost 100 percent vaccinated employees.
During the launching of the second round of the Bayanihan Bakunahan National Vaccination Days in Subic town in Zambales, Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) Chairperson and Administrator Wilma Eisma affirmed the rebound of the area catering to economic frontliners and visitors.
"Subic Bay is open, and we are not requiring RT-PCR tests or antigen tests but we strictly implement wearing of face masks," she underscored.
"There is a reason for mandatory adherence to protocols because we do not want to have a surge and we do not want to stop the economic recovery from flourishing," the official furthered.
Tourists must also bring with them vaccination cards in case asked by some personn el .
For their part in the vaccination program of the government, SBMA opens its vaccination centers for everyone.
"Please feel free to get your COVID-19 jabs in our vaccination centers when you happen to visit or dine here in Subic," Eisma urged.
Interested individuals may proceed to Harbor Point mall for walk-in vaccination.
In terms of workforce, Subic Bay Freeport has shifted from alternative work arrangements to daily work arrangements.
"Majority of the companies here, if not all, had their employees vaccinated for protection and for continuous work and through all that, the Department of Health provided the vaccines needed," Eisma said.
She expressed her gratitude to the National Task Force against COVID-19 for this feat.
"Whatever accomplishments we have here in SBMA in terms of vaccination would not have been without the support of the national government, so with that I thank you for all your support," Eisma said. (PIA 3)
