THREE cities in the National Capital Region (NCR) have not approved any ordinance yet regarding mobility restrictions for individuals still unvaccinated against COVID-19.
The three cities are Navotas, Makati and Pasig, according to Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Undersecretary and spokesperson Jonathan Malaya.
He said the cities’ respective proposed ordinances are still under deliberation by their respective city councils..
However, Malaya expects that the ordinance will eventually be approved since all 17 mayors of the local government units in the NCR have already unanimously approved said ordinance, according to an order from President Rodrigo Duterte to restrict the mobility of those still unvaccinated.
Malaya also said they are expecting that provinces will soon come out with a similar ordinance since they were encouraged by the League of Provinces of the Philippines.
He emphasized that the ordinance will serve as a standard for all barangays and the police in enforcing the directive given by the president regarding the mobility of those who remain unvaccinated against COVID-19.
