Government should use its police power under the 1987 Constitution to stop the further spread of the COVID-19 virus, Sen. Panfilo Lacson said Wednesday.
Lacson said this amid the government’s plan to deploy additional police and military personnel to enforce health protocols.
“We are under a state of public health emergency by virtue of Presidential Proclamation 922. The country is still struggling to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic,” Lacson said in a statement.
“In fact, there is a noticeable spike in the past few days, and the government must use its police power under the Constitution to make sure that the further spread of the virus is prevented or controlled,” he added.
But Lacson also said civilians must do their part as well by following health protocols and cooperating with the authorities.
He said this will be the key to minimizing, if not preventing, the spread of the coronavirus.
“Civilians should also do their part by cooperating with lawful instructions and following the proper health protocols. This is the key to minimizing the spread of the coronavirus,” he said.
