Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, April 26) Four Metro Manila mayors expressed opposing views on what community quarantine classification the government should set for May, as hospitals in the capital region remain packed with COVID-19 patients.
San Juan Mayor Francis Zamora on Monday called for a two-week extension of the modified enhanced community quarantine over Metro Manila despite experts report of a slight decrease in new COVID-19 cases. I d rather stay under MECQ then reassess again after two weeks. It s really hard to open the economy at this point because even if we are improving, we can improve even further, he told CNN Philippines.

Updated February 3, 2021 12:06pm Two Metro Manila mayors on Wednesday raised concerns over the law requiring children aged 12 and below to be seated on car seats. At the Kapihan sa Manila Bay forum, Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte pointed out that regulations should not be implemented without initially conducting public consultations. Belmonte also said some laws being enforced in other countries cannot be implemented in the Philippines. I think that in relation to the furor it raised, maybe the LTO (Land Transportation Office) should not implement first until such time that the people have been heard, pertaining to whether it s implementable or not, Belmonte said.
