Lopez: Hoarding alcohol during quarantine is unacceptable
Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez criticized people hoarding supplies like rubbing alcohol amid the upcoming month-long quarantine in Metro Manila due to COVID-19.
Lopez reminded the public that supermarkets and retailers are limited to selling two bottles of alcohol per person.
He advised store owners to turn away customers who insist on buying more than the limit, emphasizing that 'the customer is not always right.'.
Stores have the option to use security guards to remove persistent hoarders.
