[Translation: I’m just asking for your discipline. Just a bit. Because if you don’t follow, the military and police will take over. It’s like martial law. You choose. I don’t want it.]
Duterte’s threat came after officials noted increased vehicle traffic on roads and highways and increased foot traffic in certain public markets, which prompted a stricter implementation of quarantine measures.
