MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Arthur Tugade said Tuesday that domestic commercial operations in areas covered by the general community quarantine (GCQ) are now allowed to resume.<\/p>\n

“Kagabi ho, \u2018yung IATF, \u2018yung ating<\/em>\u00a0Chief Implementer\u00a0na si<\/em>\u00a0Secretary Galvez,\u00a0ay nag-isyu na ho ng kasulatan at kautusan na kung saan, ang sinasabi po niya na<\/em>\u00a0allowed\u00a0na \u2018yung<\/em>\u00a0domestic commercial aviation between GCQ to GCQ (The IATF and Chief Implementer Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. has issued a notice saying that domestic commercial aviation between GCQ and GCQ areas are now allowed),\u201d Tugade said in a radio interview.<\/p>\n

He, however, said a condition must be met \u2014 the provincial and\/or local government units must categorically support the resumption of domestic commercial operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cKailangan lang dito, aprubado ng<\/em>\u00a0local government (It should be approved by the local government),” Tugade said.<\/p>\n

Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) Director General, Capt. Jim Sydiongco, said airlines may verify and confirm with concerned airport authorities whether airports are allowed to resume operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe advise airlines and air operators to communicate with the airport authorities having jurisdiction over the airport concerned to ensure proper coordination with the intended destination,\u201d Sydiongco said.<\/p>\n

To recall, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered the lowering of the modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) enforced over Metro Manila and other major parts of the country into a general community quarantine (GCQ) starting June 1.<\/p>\n

Aside from Metro Manila, other areas under GCQ are Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, Calabarzon, Pangasinan, Albay, and Davao City.<\/p>\n

The rest of the country, meanwhile, is under a modified GCQ \u2013 the lowest form of community quarantine enforced by the government.<\/p>\n

Regular commercial air travel had been previously suspended in areas covered by the ECQ and MECQ to help stop the spread of Covid-19.\u00a0(DOTr PR)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
