PNP eyes tight watch despite possible NCR alert level downgrade: Hindi tayo magluluwag

By Prince Golez

The Philippine National Police (PNP) on Wednesday said it will continue to keep a tight watch, granting that the National Capital Region (NCR) will revert to Alert Level 3 this Saturday.

The capital region is placed under Alert Level 4 until October 15.

“Hindi po tayo magluluwag. Ang atin pong gagawin is ang magluluwag actually po ay iyong mga prohibition. Pero ang pulis natin, base doon sa mga itinatakda ng mga provisions na iyon, iyon naman po ay babantayan natin at hihigpitan iyong pagpapatupad nito,” PNP chief Gen. Guillermo Eleazar said during a Laging Handa press briefing.

“Dahil marami nang allowed lumabas, ang ating babantayan ngayon ay iyong mga allowed na lumabas sa mga permitted industries na dapat sumusunod doon sa mga protocol. At babantayan din natin na susundin nila itong capacity na 30 percent doon sa mga establisyemento na allowed nang mag-operate,” added Eleazar.

On Tuesday, Metro Manila Development Authority Chairperson Benhur Abalos said Metro Manila mayors are hoping that the Covid-19 alert level in the region will be lowered starting October 16.

Data from the OCTA Research Group showed that NCR’s reproduction rate has slowed down from 1.25 on September 17 to just 0.61 on October 8.
