MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Interior Secretary Eduardo A\u00f1o said he will talk with Environment and Natural Resources Secretary Roy Cimatu after a huge crowd failed to observe physical distancing during the opening of the artificial white sand beach of Manila Bay on Sunday.<\/p>\n

“I will discuss it first with Secretary Cimatu\u00a0kung ano pa ‘yung magiging<\/em>\u00a0course of action\u00a0namin dito.<\/em>\u00a0We will also really check what went wrong. For now,\u00a0mahirap kasing magsalita muna<\/em>\u00a0but somehow,\u00a0‘yun muna ang<\/em>\u00a0actions\u00a0na ginawa ko<\/em>\u00a0(on what course of action will be taken. We will also really check what went wrong. For now, it\u2019s difficult to comment but somehow, that\u2019s my first action),” he said in a television interview on Monday.<\/p>\n

He said people are really expected to flock the Manila Bay\u2019s \u201cwhite beach\u201d made of crushed dolomite.<\/p>\n

“Siguro dahil sa tagal ng<\/em>\u00a0lockdown, the people wanted to go to the beach.\u00a0Nakita nila ‘yung<\/em>\u00a0Manila Bay,\u00a0binuksan<\/em>\u00a0for a while, for two days,\u00a0at gusto nilang makita<\/em>\u00a0by their own eyes (Perhaps due to months of lockdown, the people wanted to go to the beach. They learned Manila Bay was opened for two days, they wanted to see with their own eyes),” A\u00f1o said.<\/p>\n

A\u00f1o said authorities, particularly the Philippine National Police (PNP) and local government unit (LGU) should have made enough preparation to enforce minimum health standards.<\/p>\n

“Dapat mas maraming pulis na dineploy saka kailangan din diyan naglagay tayo ng<\/em>\u00a0barriers. Of course the Manila LGU,\u00a0siyempre dapat talaga nakapag-<\/em>prepare\u00a0tayo dito<\/em>\u00a0(More policemen should have been deployed and put barriers. Of course, the Manila LGU should have also made preparation),” he said.<\/p>\n

He reminded the public that Metro Manila remains under the general community quarantine and that they should always follow the health protocols to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).<\/p>\n

PNP chief Camilo Cascolan said crowd management is not the sole responsibility of the police.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to be frank,\u00a0hindi lang pulis ang may kasalanan dito, lahat po tayo hindi ba. Dapat matuto tay<\/em>o (it\u2019s not only the fault of the police, all of us should take the blame. We should learn from this),\u201d he said. \u201cWe always follow the rule of law and when we follow the rule of law we have no choice, it’s command responsibility and I emphasize command responsibility during my first speech.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ermita Police Station commander Lt. Col. Ariel Caramoan was relieved from his post over the police\u2019s failure to implement strict health safety measures.<\/p>\n

Joint Task Force (JTF) Covid Shield commander Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar said Caramoan could have prevented the quarantine protocol violations at the Manila Bay if there were prior planning and regular monitoring of the situation in the area as well as close coordination with the local government unit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cClearly, he also failed to comply with the JTF Covid Shield order that was coordinated with the chief PNP for all police commanders to monitor and immediately take action on violations of the quarantine protocols that are going viral in the social media,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
