An elementary school in Valenzuela marked the COVID-19 era by naming all five sections of its first grade after life-saving vaccines. It could also be interpreted as a unique way to promote getting the jab, probably.

While kids can't get the COVID-19 vaccine yet due to limited supply, the Grade 1 students of Bitik Elementary School were assigned to sections named after the vaccines being used in the country—Sinovac, Pfizer, Moderna, Janssen, and Astra (short for AstraZeneca)— according to the school's Facebook page.
It's the only grade level which reflects the COVID-19 pandemic, as the other grade levels have sections named after fruits, trees, books of the Bible, and birthstones. While Pinoys have always had, erm, unique methods of naming things—fellow humans included—this one just really stands out. We don't know how we'd feel if we ended up in one of these sections! Check them out below, in no particular order:
Folks online were unsurprisingly quick to react. There were comments asking about the Russian-made Sputnik vaccine and even one cheeky guy going "Eto po ba 'yung star section?" on the Pfizer section; the vaccine earlier caused long queues at vaccination sites in Manila due to its high efficacy. And of course, someone just couldn't resist asking about the controversial anti-parisitic, "Nasaan na ang Grade 1 - Ivermectin?" while someone else commented "50% lang po ba yung present sa klase sa Sinovac section?" referring to the Chinese-made vaccine's efficacy rate.
Regardless of the section, one thing people could agree on is that "The best section is the one available."
