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.

“It is a patriotic duty to get inoculated as it protects us from COVID-19. We should do this not only for ourselves but for our family as well,” Abalos said Friday.
The MMDA chief made the remark even as a lot of Filipinos are still unwilling to receive the vaccine for fear of possible side effects.
