PRRD DID NOT VIOLATE ANY LAW

 

In the news last night, the GMA Channel 7 made lengthy news coverage about the military and the police that were injected with Covid Vaccine. The newscasters have muddled with the brash proclamation that the act was illegal because there was no approval from the BFAD. They were fixated with outrageous levels accusing PRRD of allegedly violating the law.

Granting that PRRD approved the application of the said Vaccine to the military and the police who volunteered to have it, PRRD did not violate any law.

In administrative law, it is a too well-settled postulate to need any supporting citation, that a superior body or office having supervision and control over another may do directly what the latter is supposed to do or ought to have done.

Always remember, PRRD is the Chief Executive of the entire agency of the government and as such he has the control and supervision of all public officials in the government. Consequently, he may do directly what the BFAD is supposed to do or ought to have done. A fortiori, if PRRD gave his approval, he has every right and authority to do so under the law and the Constitution.
