Mayor Antolin “Lenlen” Oreta III, Councilor Enzo Oreta, and other city officials went to the Oreta Sports Complex to witness the activities.

The mayor thanked all the parents who brought their children to get their first vaccine dose.

“Importante ang bakuna para maligtas tayo sa COVID, at sana maengganyo pa natin ang iba pang mga magulang na dalhin ang mga anak nila para mabakunahan (Vaccination is important for us to survive COVID, and hopefully we can encourage other parents to bring their children for vaccination),” the mayor said.

“Nakita naman natin sa ibang bansa, maraming mga bata, sa murang edad nababakunahan na. Tulong-tulong tayo para maiwasan natin ang COVID at maligtas natin ang ating mga sarili sa COVID (We have seen in other countries that a lot of children get vaccinated at an early age. Let’s help each other to avoid COVID and save ourselves from COVID),” he added.
