The Parañaque City government issued a public advisory on Thursday, September 9, on the implementation of a modified liquor ban up to September 30 in the city.
Mayor Edwin Olivarez said under the modified liquor ban, the city will allow the selling of liquor and other alcoholic beverages from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
However, Olivarez said, the serving of liquor and other alcoholic beverages shall remain prohibited in all establishments to avoid gatherings.
The mayor said the city government imposed the modified liquor ban since the National Capital Region was placed under modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ).
Olivarez said the city government imposed a liquor ban on August 2 or four days before the NCR was placed under the enhanced community quarantine on August 6 to 20.
The Business Permit and Licensing Office (BPLO), headed by Atty. Melanie Soriano-Malaya, was ordered to check on all business establishments around the city to ensure that they are following the imposition of the liquor ban.
