Mayor Vico Sotto called on the public to remain calm amidst these uncertain times. He also reminded residents to frequently wash hands, practice social distancing, and always get facts only from legitimate sources.
Meanwhile, the local chief executive also reminded residents of the curfew measures approved earlier by his fellow Metro Manila Council members proposed to start on March 15 until April 14, 2020, from 8:00pm to 5:00am.
