DILG Undersecretary for Barangay Affairs Martin Dino said out of the thousand barangays, more than 50 are in Metro Manila.
“Yung mga reklamo sa kanila, pinakamababa ang trenta, meron pa nga sisentang reklamo ,” Dino told DZMM radio on Tuesday.
Dino said quarantine violations reported often include gambling, cockfighting, street drinking, and officials taking advantage of the relief goods given by the government.
“Yung iba nagpapabayad ng quarantine pass, barangay ID. Yung iba inuuna yung mga kamag-anak at kaalyado sa pagbibigay ng pagkain," Dino said.
“Yung sa DSWD (Department of Social Welfare and Development) naman ganon din ang reklamo, ang mga nililista mga kaalyado, kamag-anak,” he added.
Dino then urged the public to report quarantine violators to DILG by calling its 24/7 hotline (02) 8876 5354 local 8806 or 8810.
