Cebu City mayor sees 'no harm' with military trucks out during pandemic COVID19Quarantine

The mayor of Cebu City said Thursday he saw "no harm" with the deployment of military trucks there in a bid to contain the coronavirus pandemic, despite Vice President Leni Robredo's warning that this may sow fear among residents.

"It requires all of us residents some kind of self-discipline... The visibility of our military and PNP personnel, and of course show of force, is one of the ways we can show and impose discipline," he added. Robredo last week questioned the military tanks deployed to Cebu City after President Rodrigo Duterte placed it back under the strictest lockdown level due to a spike in COVID-19 cases.

"Ang problema ko rito, 'pag nakita na ng mga tao iyong tanke, 'Ano ba to, giyera?' Iyong giyera natin dito against COVID-19 at hindi ito nadadaan sa pagso-sow ng fear among the constituency."Watch more in iWant or TFC.tv Robredo said Iloilo City contained its coronavirus outbreak at 4 active cases without any arrest for lockdown violations.
