Metro cops told coordinate with NCR LGUs on outdoor exercises limitations
Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Guillermo Eleazar directed police units in Metro Manila to coordinate with local government units (LGUs) regarding regulations for outdoor exercise.
This directive follows the lifting of the ban on outdoor exercises as Metro Manila transitioned to a Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ).
LGUs have been empowered by the Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) to set specific limitations on outdoor exercise, including restricted movement or designated time periods.
While outdoor fitness activities are now permitted, mayors retain the discretion to implement additional measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within their jurisdictions.
Eleazar emphasized the importance of police personnel being fully informed about each LGU's specific rules to ensure consistent and clear enforcement.
