Curfew unenforceable without ordinancesThe resolution to impose a curfew by Sunday was made without the backing of ordinances as of Saturday. The mayors called on their respective legislative councils to immediately pass the local legislation for the period of the quarantine. The shutdown of malls that could deprive retail workers of wages is inconsistent with the Department of Labor and Employment's Advisory No. Asked by Philstar.com about the order to close malls, Megaworld Lifestyle Malls and SM Supermalls all said they are still evaluating it. Ayala Malls operates 17 malls in the National Capital Region.
