LGUs can set own window hours for essential purchases

Local government units (LGUs) have the authority to set their own "window hours" for residents to purchase food and essential goods during the enhanced community quarantine.

The Philippine National Police (PNP) stated that the Joint Task Force COVID Shield has not issued any specific guidelines regarding these "window hours."

PNP spokesperson Police Brigadier General Bernard Banac affirmed that the PNP respects the "window hours" that LGUs might have already established.

Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez also clarified that LGUs are not forbidden from creating specific schedules that allow people to go out for necessities.

Lopez mentioned that LGUs are likely implementing these schedules at the community level.
