MANILA—The head of the Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines on Saturday urged the national government to leave the decision over face shield use up to local officials, as virus growth nationwide continued to slow down.

" ’Yung LGU na lang po ang mag-determine, according to their doctors, kung kailangan pa ng face shield in certain circumstances at sila na rin ang magpatupad."
