First day of 'no vax, no ride' in NCR went well —PNP
The Philippine National Police (PNP) reported that the first day of the 'no vaccination, no ride' policy in the National Capital Region (NCR) went smoothly.
PNP Chief Gen. Dionardo Carlos stated that the police force will follow the order from the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and help in the policy's implementation.
PNP Spokesperson Police Col. Rhoderick Alba said no untoward incidents were reported and thanked the public for compliance during the initial phase.
For this week, the PNP is implementing a warning phase for the policy, with full enforcement scheduled for the following week.
