It isn't a lockdown, not if they allow trains and those outside of MM to come in to work. Ba't ba kating-kati yun iba na masabing 'locked down' ang NCR? If they can't fully implement, they shouldn't call it an effin lockdown.

Need clarification on international flights. I will be flying to another country and will be travelling by land from the province to get to NAIA during the lockdown. Am I allowed to enter NCR? COVID19 ManilaLockdown ABSCBNNews gmanews cnnphilippines DILGPhilippines
