Pasay City Mayor Emi Calixto-Rubiano issued an executive order on March 11 adjusting the curfew hours in the city from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. effective March 12.
Rubiano ordered that during curfew hours, all persons should be at their home except those still out for the purpose of work or on the way home from work and those dealing with emergencies.
She said barangays may also request from the city government for authority to impose stricter curfew especially those barangays listed under the localized community quarantines.
Only last Wednesday (March 10), the mayor said the city would not follow the lead of other cities in adjusting curfew hours because they wanted to keep the city’s economy going.
The Department of Interior and Local Government Unit (DILG) urged the 17 Metro Manila mayors to have uniform curfew hours to assure the public can follow as they live and work in different local government units.
To date, the city recorded a total of 552 active cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) disease with 80 new cases.
The city government also placed additional 35 barangays under localized community quarantine, now with a total of 89 barangays under lockdown.
