“Kailangan talaga, magpabakuna kayo. Bawal ang tanga. Kung di kayo magpapabakuna, dun na lang kayo sa bahay habangbuhay, ‘wag kayong lalabas,” Gordon said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.
“Kailangan gampanan niyo ang tungkulin niyo sa inyong sarili at kamag-anak sa bahay niyo, at mga makakausap ninyo kung kayo ay lalabas…I’m not going to pull my punches. Bawal ang tanga, bawal ang tamad, magpabakuna kayo,” he added.
