3 guvs, 2 mayors reprimanded over ECQ violations: DILG
The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) has issued show-cause orders to three provincial governors and two mayors for allegedly violating enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) regulations during the COVID-19 crisis.
DILG Secretary Eduardo M. Año emphasized that violations of quarantine directives by local officials will not go unnoticed and stressed the importance of LGU cooperation during the pandemic.
The show-cause orders were issued following the reprimand of barangay officials from Quezon City and Caloocan City for similar violations.
Local officials have 48 hours to submit written explanations, with administrative cases automatically filed with the Office of the Ombudsman if they fail to respond.
The DILG reiterated its commitment to pursuing legal actions against local officials who fail to comply with ECQ regulations, ensuring accountability at all levels of government.
