MMC chairman and Parañaque City Mayor Edwin Olivarez said Metro Manila mayors have recommended maintaining GCQ in the National Capital Region for 30 days.
In an interview over DZBB on Monday, Olivarez said the metro mayors met with some Cabinet members Sunday night.
“Pinagkaisahan po ng mga mayor na irerekomenda sa IATF na i-maintain po yung GCQ starting September 1. Pinag-uusapan po hindi 15 days, kundi 30 days to maintain the GCQ status in Metro Manila starting September 1. We are not recommending 15 days, but 30),” Olivarez added.“Ang pinagbasehan po nyan yung pagbubukas natin ng ekonomiya na dahan-dahan, na hindi pwedeng i-compromise ang ating health protocol… hirap na hirap na po ang ating kababayan ,” Olivarez said.
Localized or granular lockdowns would also be enforced in areas where there are clusters of coronavirus disease infections. Olivarez also said they are eyeing the implementation of a shortened curfew, which will be from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to announce the new quarantine classification of Metro Manila and the rest of the country today, August 31.
