Metro Manila begins shorter curfew hours, midnight to 4 am
Metro Manila mayors began implementing a shortened curfew from 12 midnight to 4 a.m. starting October 13, 2021.
This change reduces the previous six-hour curfew to four hours.
The decision aligns with the significant decrease in active COVID-19 cases in the National Capital Region (NCR), which stood at over 16,000 as of October 12.
Previously, the curfew started at 10 p.m.
The NCR is currently under Alert Level 4, with its classification set to expire on October 15.
Public and private cemeteries, memorial parks, and columbaries will be closed from October 29 to November 2 to prevent crowding during All Souls' Day.
