Ipapakalat ang 10,000 pulis sa Metro Manila upang masigurong maipapatupad ang mahigpit na uniform curfew, ayon sa Philippine National Police (PNP).
Ayon kay PNP officer-in-charge Police Lieutenant General Guillermo Eleazar, nagbigay na siya ng direktiba sa police force na ipatupad ang maximum tolerance sa lahat at patuloy na igalang ang karapatang pantao.
"To our personnel on the ground, be reminded of our two rules to avoid unnecessary confrontation to the public -- one, observe maximum tolerance; and two, respect the people's rights. We will be closely monitoring your compliance," ani Eleazar sa isang interview ngayong Linggo.
"And to the public, we also offer a formula to prevent unnecessary confrontation and spare yourself from arrest: one, respect the rules on observance of the minimum health safety standard protocols; and two, respect the authorities that are enforcing these protocols," dagdag pa ng opisyal.
Magsisimula ang curfew bukas, March 15 ng alas-10:00 ng gabi hanggang alas-5:00 ng umaga na tatagal ng dalawang linggo dahil sa biglang pagtaas ng COVID-19 cases sa buong National Capital Region (NCR).
