Pasay City arrests 448 for curfew violations amid COVID-19 surge

Pasay City apprehended 448 individuals for violating curfew rules as authorities intensified health protocol enforcement due to a surge in COVID-19 cases.

The Pasay City police chief noted that most of the violators claimed they were out to buy something or were unaware of the new curfew hours.

Pasay City Mayor Emi Calixto-Rubiano had previously urged residents to adhere to health standards and local ordinances to curb virus transmission.

An executive order on March 11 adjusted the curfew from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. effective March 12.

However, the city council on March 15 enacted an ordinance imposing the curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
