“Kailangan pa rin i-verify ‘yung pinopost ng tao kung may violation ng minimum health protocol,” Densing added.
This assurance came on the heels of police’s new policy of monitoring social media to apprehend stubborn quarantine violators. Joint Task Force COVID Shield chief Police Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar earlier said that the police wouldin search of people who defy health protocols as most parts of the country remained under community quarantine.
Once it is proven that minimum health protocols have been violated, Densing said apprehension and penalties will be imposed, based on local ordinances. “Kung totoo naman na walang social distancing, walang face mask, ‘yung kapulisan natin will have to go there para i-enforce ang minimum public health standards,” he said.“Ang paghuhuli depende kung may ordinansa ang local government. Automatic yan na dahil may kulong at may penalty [sa local ordinance] maaari silang hulihin,” the DILG official said. #
