PNP notes sharp decrease in number of no 'vax, no ride' violators
The Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Inter-Agency Council for Traffic (I-ACT) reported a decrease in the number of violators of the "no vaccination, no ride" policy, indicating growing public cooperation.
The policy, which restricts unvaccinated individuals from using public transport, saw a significant drop in violations from 160 on January 17 to just eight on January 21.
PNP Chief Police General Dionardo Carlos noted this trend as a positive sign of public adjustment and increased cooperation from unvaccinated individuals.
The government initially implemented the policy but later clarified that essential workers are exempted after facing public criticism.
Carlos also urged police officers to exercise maximum tolerance when dealing with individuals who defy the policy.
