“Here in San Juan, from 1,296 on April 12, it’s now down to 280 and this is really the effect of the ECQ (Enhanced Community Quarantine) and MECQ (Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine).” Zamora said in an interview with CNN Philippines.
The mayor said the Metro Manila Council (MMC) held a meeting yesterday to come up with a recommendation for the National Captial Region’s (NCR) next quarantine classification starting May 15. He personally voted to ease the quarantine classification to General Community Quarantine (GCQ) but stressed that it should be a stricter kind of GCQ to prevent the surge in COVID-19 cases.

Zamora said that his decision was made after the Metro Manila Council (MMC) had a meeting yesterday to discuss the Metro Manila mayors’ recommendation for the next quarantine classification of the National Capital Region (NCR).
“I personally voted for a GCQ because the discussions last night were really to have a GCQ that is strict in nature because there were GCQs before that had additional allowances, meaning in terms of allowable businesses and industries which made it a not so strict GCQ.” Zamora said during an interview with CNN Philippines.
Most Metro Manila mayors are in favor of shifting the National Capital Region (NCR) to a "strict" General Community Quarantine (GCQ) starting on May 15.

“Months before we had the Pfizer vaccine, we have prepared for this and already rented an ultra cold freezer to store them properly. We opted to rent instead of buying one since it is much more economical and allowed us to spend our budget wisely and use the savings for other COVID-related activities,” Zamora said.
The MDF-C8V1-PK ultra-low freezer rented by the city government has a temperature range of -60°C to -80°C, a new cooling circuit that enables filter-less structure, and can store up to 12,000 vials. It also comes with a system for high and low temperature alarm as well as power failure alarm to ensure that the vaccines will not be compromised and wasted.
