30% of NCR residents still unvaxxed- DILG exec
An estimated 30 percent of Metro Manila residents remained unvaccinated against COVID-19, according to DILG Undersecretary Martin Diño.
Diño also stressed that herd immunity in Metro Manila is still high.
President Duterte instructed barangay officials to lead their unvaccinated constituents back to their homes and explain the importance of vaccination for their protection.
Critics frowned on the President's order, but the DILG insisted that restricting the mobility of unvaccinated persons will be done courteously, with arrests as a last resort for persistent individuals.
Barangay officials have the power to implement the President's order as persons in authority, and restrictions on the unvaccinated are enforced based on local government unit ordinances.
