DOJ: 'Mandatory Reporting' may still apply but ordinances better vs 'quarantine violators'MANILA, Philippines — Can a law used to arrest thousands during last year's lockdown but not applied to a sitting senator still be used against "quarantine violators" in this new round of restrictions? He stressed, though, that a national law like RA 11332 "may also be applicable, depending on the factual circumstance." The Inter-Agency Task Force has particularly put to task local government units in implementing the “bubble area,” which include their constituents’ adherence to public health standards. There have also been 134,298 quarantine violators haled to court. The NPS, in resolving the complaint against Pimentel, held that the reporting requirement under the said law is only for public health authorities.
