CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Cebu City Police Office is appealing to Mayor Edgardo Labella to continue requiring quarantine passes during the Misa de Gallo period to control the number of people going out.
Mayor Labella said on Monday, December 7, that quarantine passes will not be needed during the period of the Misa de Gallo “as long as we observe the minimum health requirements.”Parilla said that one of the major challenges they will face if quarantine passes will be suspended is the monitoring of the public and ensuring of the implementation of health protocols.
Parilla said the CCPO will suggest that quarantine passes be waived only during the Misa De Gallo schedules from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. After that, they want the quarantine passes to be required again when going out for the rest of the day. Understanding the lack of manpower by the police, Labella said the city government will deploy at least 500 Misa De Gallo marshalls in parishes who will help maintain order and check that health protocols are followed.
