'Hatid-sundo' of APORs during ECQ in NCR now allowed
Philippine National Police (PNP) chief General Guillermo Eleazar initially prohibited non-authorized persons outside of residence (APORs) from fetching APORs in Metro Manila during the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ), citing potential abuse.
However, Eleazar later reversed the decision, allowing non-APOR drivers to fetch APORs, including healthcare workers and others in permitted industries.
This reversal was made after coordination with the National Task Force against Covid-19 and Interior and Local Government Secretary Eduardo Año, seeking a balance to allow essential workers to commute.
To facilitate this, specific documents must be presented at checkpoints, including the APOR's employment certificate, a document listing the fetcher's details, vehicle information, and a copy of the employer's business permit.
