MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 President Rodrigo Duterte\u2019s recent announcement on the latest quarantine classification in Cebu City is already final and can only be modified after June 30, Malaca\u00f1ang said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cNoong nag-anunsiyo na ang Presidente,<\/em>\u00a0final\u00a0na ‘yan. Kinakailangang mag-hintay sa<\/em>\u00a0end of the month\u00a0para magkaroon ng bagong<\/em>\u00a0classification (When the President made an announcement, that\u2019s already final. We need to wait for the end of the month for the new classification),\u201d said Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque in an interview with state-run PTV-4.<\/p>\n

Cebu City is the only area in the country that was put under enhanced community quarantine (ECQ), the highest level of community quarantine, until June 30.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Cebu City Mayor Edgar Labella said his office will appeal for a reclassification of the community quarantine in the city.<\/p>\n

Labella sought to place Cebu City under general community quarantine (GCQ), which is a more relaxed community quarantine than the ECQ.<\/p>\n

In a separate interview with dzBB, Roque said the Cebu City government should accept Duterte\u2019s decision because the area is currently in a \u201cdangerous level.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSiguro tanggapin na lang natin ang mapait na solusyon<\/em>\u00a0(Let\u2019s just accept this bitter solution),\u201d he said.\u00a0\u201cAlam ko po mapait ito pero hindi naman po kinakailangang magkaganito. Kinakailangan lang mag<\/em>-cooperate\u00a0ang lahat<\/em>\u00a0(I know this might be unacceptable for some but we need the cooperation of everyone).\u201d<\/p>\n

Malaca\u00f1ang on Tuesday justified Duterte\u2019s decision to impose ECQ in Cebu City, saying that it is the only \u201cindividual city\u201d in the country that has the highest incidence of Covid-19.<\/p>\n

Modified ECQ was imposed in Talisay City.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, general community quarantine (GCQ) was implemented in Metro Manila; the provinces of Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Tarlac, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon, Occidental Mindoro, Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental, Siquijor; and the cities of Santiago, Olongapo, Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu, Zamboanga, and Davao.<\/p>\n

The rest of the country was under modified GCQ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
