MANILA, Philippines – A youth group has decided to celebrate Labor Day by setting up kitchens to service Quezon City workers affected by the COVID-19 lockdown, despite warnings from the police to refrain from assembling. The CEGP told INQUIRER.net in a separate text message that they will ensure that physical distancing measures would be maintained even as mass gatherings are not allowed. “Residents of Barangay Central will ensure as well as volunteers of TK na hindi pa rin naman po mawawala ‘yung pagsunod hinggil sa distancing on ECQ,” CEGP media officer Anton Narciso said. (Residents of Barangay Central will ensure as well as volunteers of TK would ensure that the physical distancing regulations of the ECQ would not be set aside.) Earlier, Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Gen. Archie Gamboa warned leftists groups that they would arrest people who violate the physical distancing measures set up to prevent local transmission of the latest coronavirus strain.
