According to City Administrator Floro Casas Jr., there were 170,000 QR coded passes that were distributed to the 80 barangays, but they kept 10,000 for emergencies as these would be distributed to sitios or households that would really need the passes.The distribution of these reserved passes will no longer be coursed through the barangay, but these will be directly given to the recipient from the city government.
Casas said he hoped the city constituents would understand that the main purpose of the passes was to limit the movement of people, that was why the city released only a few. “When it comes to the numbers, of course, we will lean towards the lesser number because that will limit the movement more,” he added.
