MANILA - Most mayors in the Philippine capital region are in favor of extending the general community quarantine in August, the chairman of Metro Manila Council said Wednesday.
Olivarez said the local chief executives would be pushing for more localized lockdowns, which he said had been effective in arresting the spread of the virus. "Alam naman natin na hirap na hirap na ang taong bayan pero we couldn't prejudiced 'yung health protocol para nga malabanan itong COVID-19," he said.
Metro Manila, the country's epicenter of the virus, has recorded 45,969 coronavirus cases since the pandemic began, data from the Department of Health as of July 28 showed.
