Robredo’s office rolls out free antigen tests anew amid COVID-19 spikePeople line up to get tested at the Swab Cab of the Office of the Vice President relaunched on Wednesday, January 5, in partnership with the local government of Quezon City and UBE Express. MANILA, Philippines — The office of Vice President Leni Robredo is offering free antigen tests again in response to the spike in new COVID-19 cases in the country presumed to be driven by the more infectious Omicron variant. Robredo’s office first rolled out Swab Cabs during a coronavirus surge in March 2021. Robredo’s free testing initiative comes as there are renewed calls for free mass testing — appeals which the government still does not want to heed.
