NCR Plus under ECQ; 10K cops deployed
The Greater Manila Area and four nearby provinces are under a week-long enhanced community quarantine starting March 29.
About 10,000 police officers have been deployed to enforce the ECQ, with nearly 1,100 checkpoints established in barangays and borders within Metro Manila, Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna, and Cavite.
On the first day of the ECQ, public compliance was generally peaceful and satisfactory according to Lt. Gen. Cesar Hawthorne Binag of the Joint Task Force Covid Shield.
The Philippine National Police has prepared for the ECQ by meeting with regional directors and provincial directors, and will continue to improve on observed needs.
