DILG Secretary Eduardo Ano made the remark after Malacanang said the possible filing of cases against officials of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) as suggested by Manila Mayor Francisco "Isko Moreno" Domagoso' over the supposed breach of health protocols following the opening of the beach is up to his agency. Domagoso made the call, saying the overcrowding at the dolomite beach can be a super-spreader event for coronavirus disease 2019. "(I) have already directed the PNP, particularly the MPD (Manila Police District) under Brig. Gen. (Leo) Francisco to coordinate with DENR (Department of Environment and Natural Resources) and MMDA (Metropolitan Manila Development Authority)
