The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Undersecretary Epimaco Densing III was interviewed on ABS-CBN's Teleradyo where he called Mark Anthony Fernandez' COVID-19 vaccination "legally and morally" wrong.
KAMI learned that actor Mark Anthony Fernandez was recently questioned for having been vaccinated against COVID-19 as only frontliners are being vaccinated as of now.
The actor was vaccinated in Parañaque city, which is why Mayor Edwin Olivarez had to explain why the actor was vaccinated before frontliners. According to an article by Rappler, Mayor Olivarez said that the inoculation for their city's frontliners are already done so they have proceeded to vaccinate the elderly and those with comorbidities.

In a text message he sent to ABS-CBN, Fernandez said that he did not violate the law in getting a vaccination as he has hypertension and further explained that he was on a quick substitution list and was vaccinated after some frontliners did not appear for their inoculation.
However, the DILG Undersecretary explained that the actor's excuse was not valid and that his vaccination was not in compliance with the law.
“"Hindi pa rin po. 'Yung unang excuse nila na nasa quick substitution list. Kung ikaw ay A1 (health worker), A1 pa rin ang substitutes."
"Kahit saang anggulo, legally and morally, mali."
