No discussion yet on liquor ban reimplementation in Metro Manila - MMDA
The Metro Manila Council (MMC) has not yet discussed the possibility of reimposing a liquor ban in the region.
MMDA Chairman Benhur Abalos stated that the liquor ban was not discussed during their meeting but became a topic after.
The possible re-implementation of the liquor ban will be discussed in their next meeting.
The OCTA Research Group suggested on March 11 that local government units (LGUs) impose a liquor ban anew amid a surge in COVID-19 cases in the Metro.
The group also recommended a stricter implementation of the General Community Quarantine (GCQ) to prevent overwhelming hospitals with patients.
A unified curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. will be imposed starting March 15 for two weeks to clear streets of loiterers.
