PNP enforces 8pm-5am curfew in Metro Manila during MECQ
The Philippine National Police (PNP) will enforce an 8 pm to 5 am curfew in Metro Manila and surrounding provinces starting Monday, April 12.
Initially, PNP planned to maintain the previous 6 pm to 5 am curfew until receiving a memorandum from the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), but later confirmed enforcement of new hours.
Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque stated that mayors and governors had not yet agreed on modified curfew times during MECQ, though they eventually settled on 8 pm to 5 am.
Under MECQ, some industries can operate at full capacity with stricter health protocols compared to ECQ, while others remain closed.
