Group asks 'prudence' from gov't as 11th hour policy shift stuns workers, businesses

MANILA — A business group on Wednesday called on government to be "prudent" in its implementation of quarantine protocols following its 11th-hour policy reversal Tuesday night that left businesses and workers stunned.

"Authorities must be prudent in prematurely announcing half-studied policies or policy shifts as they have tremendous impact on business operations and people’s daily lives,” said PCCI acting president Edgardo Lacson. This means the capital region would stay under the stricter modified enhanced community quarantine until Sept. 15.

"There is a huge financial cost on business enterprises when plans and preparations are dislocated by the last minute cancellation or postponement of the anticipated relaxation of the quarantine protocols... Authorities must be careful in recklessly raising public expectations that will not be matched by the outcome," he said.
