Soldiers to help implement social distancing in Pasay barangay
Soldiers were deployed to Barangay 178 Maricaban in Pasay City to help enforce social distancing amid the COVID-19 threat.
Barangay officials sought the military's assistance as residents defied orders to stay at home as part of the Luzon-wide enhanced community quarantine (ECQ).
Barangay 178 Maricaban is currently under a total lockdown, which was prompted by residents' resistance to the quarantine despite having only three COVID-19 cases.
The duration of the total lockdown in Barangay 178 is indefinite.
Residents are given a two-hour window from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. to buy food and medicines.
