Metro Manila mayors eye normal GCQ starting June 16

Metro Manila mayors are considering placing the National Capital Region under a normal general community quarantine (GCQ) starting June 16.

Taguig Mayor Lino Cayetano supports gradual easing of restrictions.

Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque said areas in NCR Plus, including Bulacan, Rizal, Cavite, and Laguna, are likely to transition to eased quarantine measures next week due to low healthcare utilization rates.
