“Recommended o ideal na may face shields pero mahirap itong gawing mandatory sa panahon na madaming mahihirap, walang pambili o walang access,” he added.
Then on Tuesday, DOTr announced that people using public utility vehicles would have to wear face shields starting August 15. In a Facebook post earlier, DOTr said that the policy was created through a Memorandum Circular crafted Tuesday. “Sa mga kababayan ’ho natin, huwag sana nating isipin na panibagong gastusin o dagdag abala ang pag-require natin sa paggamit ng face shield. Let us remember that no amount of protection is too much when it comes to health and safety, especially that we are battling an invisible enemy,” Tugade said.“What we are addressing is not a transport issue but rather a health issue. Kaya nga ‘ho hinihingi ko ang kooperasyon ng bawat isa,” he added.
