CALOOCAN Mayor Oscar "Oca" Malapitan on Tuesday announced that 105 out of the city's 188 villages are free of Covid-19. "This would mean that 55.85 percent of the entire villages in the city have already no active Covid-19 cases or only the remaining 83 villages that have," he told The Manila Times. From over 2,000 active cases in March this year, the city chief executive said Caloocan has now only 342 active cases. Many thanks for the concern to Caloocan residents)," Malapitan said in Filipino. Let us not be complacent, let's continue staying safe and as much as possible, get vaccinated so that we can guard ourselves against the disease," the Caloocan mayor said.
