Davao City lifts 24-hour liquor ban

Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte has lifted the 24-hour liquor ban in the city, which was initially implemented on April 6 to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The sale, serving, and consumption of liquor are now only prohibited between 1 a.m. and 8 a.m., allowing businesses to gradually resume operations under the Modified General Community Quarantine (MGCQ).

Restaurants and fastfood establishments can serve alcoholic beverages, but customers are limited to a maximum of two individual servings.

Establishments whose primary business is serving alcoholic drinks, such as beer houses and nightclubs, are still not permitted to operate.
