PNP chief not keen on 'special lanes'
Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Archie Gamboa is hesitant to create special lanes for individuals exempted from enhanced community quarantine checkpoints.
Gamboa explained that if special lanes were designated for one group, other exempted sectors like food delivery would also demand similar privileges.
He believes that all individuals passing through checkpoints are already part of the exemption categories.
The PNP's stance is to expedite the process at checkpoints for all vehicles, including those carrying cargo, while still allowing for inspection.
Policies regarding pedestrians passing through checkpoints have not yet been formulated.
Gamboa committed to raising the issue of special lanes and pedestrian policies in the next Inter-agency Task Force meeting.
