Gen. Guillermo Lorenzo Eleazar, chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP), ordered on Wednesday, August 3, police units and offices to run after those would be identified engaging in hoarding of oxygen tanks and other medical supplies amid the continuing threat of COVID-19, especially its Delta variant.
“We will be coordinating with the DTI (Department of Trade and Industry) to look into the report of oxygen tanks, especially in Cebu City,” said Eleazar.
Eleazar made the statement after Cebu City Vice Mayor Michael Rama called on the police and the DTI to look into the supposed hoarding of oxygen tanks after a photo of private cars with COVID patients connected to oxygen tanks outside a Cebu City hospital went viral.
