MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) on Wednesday reminded local government officials and police officers to set a good example in implementing quarantine protocols.<\/p>\n

\u201cAng ating sinasabi sa ating mga<\/em>\u00a0government officials\u00a0lalo na sa nasasakupan ng<\/em>\u00a0DILG,\u00a0ito ‘yung tinatawag nating delicadeza, may mga pagkakataon na kailangan maging<\/em>\u00a0(good) example\u00a0ka<\/em>\u00a0(What we are telling government officials, especially those under the DILG, is to have delicadeza. There are instances when we should set a good example),\u201d Interior Secretary Eduardo A\u00f1o said in a radio interview.<\/p>\n

He was reacting to the incident where a party was allegedly held at the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) headquarters in Taguig City for the birthday of its chief, Maj. Gen. Debold Sinas last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cHabang nasa<\/em>\u00a0ECQ\u00a0tayo, wala ‘yung mga<\/em>\u00a0celebration\u00a0na ganyan, ‘yung mga<\/em>\u00a0organized dinner\u00a0na ganito, hindi ‘yan ano<\/em>… delicadeza\u00a0nga eh<\/em>\u00a0(While we are under ECQ, there must be no celebrations like that, even those organized dinners. That is not right. We are talking of delicadeza here). Right then and there,\u00a0dapat ipatigil mo<\/em>\u00a0(you should have it stopped),” he added.<\/p>\n

Pictures of the occasion went viral and drew flak on social media as mass gatherings remain prohibited under quarantine rules.<\/p>\n

A\u00f1o said he would let the Philippine National Police (PNP) investigate the matter.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, PNP chief Gen. Archie Gamboa said there nothing wrong with the ‘ma\u00f1anita’ (early morning birthday serenade) given to Sinas.<\/p>\n

He said he already talked to Sinas over the matter and has directed the PNP Internal Affairs Service to look into the allegations of quarantine violations.<\/p>\n

While he still trusts Sinas, Gamboa said strict quarantine protocols must be observed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there are allegations, I will look into it. Well, we all know that Gen. Sinas’ work at the NCRPO is difficult. But it is not an excuse for him not to follow simple health protocols and of course, we encourage him to do so,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
