ito. Kung maganda ang polisiya at ikagaganda at ikabubuti ng mamamayan, ako'y sumusuporta rito,[Translation: I told DOTr Asec. Steve and Sec. Tugade that we, in Pasang Masda, will support this. If it is a good policy and it is for the good of our people, I will support it.]said public transport via land, rail, sea, and air will be limited to fully vaccinated individuals amid the rising COVID-19 cases in Metro Manila.
The rule will be enforced starting Monday, Jan. 17, and will remain in effect unless the capital region shifts to a lower alert level. Earlier, the Metro Manila Council approved a resolution imposing restrictions on the movement of unvaccinated residents. Both policies have garnered mixed reactions from the public, along with some experts and lawmakers, for being discriminatory and against the law.
