— ABS-CBN News May 31, 2020 "Lucy", a janitor who also works in Makati, said she would take a taxi instead of running late for work, the first time she would go to her office since Metro Manila was locked down on March 16. President Rodrigo Duterte pushed through with easing one of the world's toughest and longest lockdowns, despite the highest daily spike in coronavirus cases logged on Thursday.

For the second phase that will run from June 22 to June 30, public utility buses, modern jeepneys and UV express vans will be allowed to operate, the agency said.
