Speaker Lord Allan Velasco has called on government to downgrade from Alert Level 3 to Alert Level 2 the lockdown status of the National Capital Region as COVID-19 infections have started to wane.
In a press statement, Velasco said he fully supports proposals to ease the COVID -19 restrictions in order to trigger “broader reopening of the economy.”
The OCTA Research, which is being investigated by the Lower House, has also recommended the easing of community restrictions.“Downgrading Metro Manila’s lockdown restrictions to Alert Level 2 would mean that more businesses will resume operations and operate at increased capacity, thus allowing more Filipinos to regain their jobs and income,” said Velasco.
According to the House leader the data gives the confidence for the reopening of the economy by allowing businesses to resume.
