Arci Muñoz’s latest project isn’t a new movie, TV series, or song. It’s being the ambassador to the Department of Interior and Local Government’s (DILG) campaign for mass vaccination. Recently, the actress became the face of the DILG’s May Disiplina campaign to encourage more people to get vaccinated. In case you didn’t know, Arci is also an Armed Forces of the Philippines reservist, and she was approached for the role by one of her superiors and she agreed to do it.

“If you have the chance, please don’t be afraid! Do it as your responsibility bilang mamayang Pilipino,” she said during a press conference. She also hopes the campaign will also help encourage young people to get vaccinated. “I will do anything in my power to help influence people, especially the youth, the young ones.” But aside from wanting people to get vaccinated, Arci also wants people to know that you should still be cautious even when you’re fully vaccinated. It’s doesn’t mean I can already go wherever or do whatsoever I want. You still have to be responsible, not only for yourself but those people around you.”

When the #MagnetChallenge popped up that showed people being able to stick large objects to their arms after getting vaccinated, Arshie made a video calling out the myth. He also has made videos explaining why you need to get both doses of the vaccine, not just one. In another video, he says that while there can be breakthrough cases (people who are fully vaccinated but still catch COVID-19), it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get the vaccine. He goes on to explain that the current crop of vaccines are not 100% cures but more of shields. But even so, they still protect your body from experiencing severe symptoms or death.

In a time where vaccine misinformation is so rampant, Arshie is using his platform to inform his followers of the hows and whys of vaccines. Got a vaccine-related question? Arshie probably has made a video about it already.
