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.

The group of private hospitals is in favor of further extending the modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) in the National Capital Region plus (Metro Manila, Cavite, Laguna, Bulacan, Rizal) bubble, amid the reduction of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients in hospitals in the area.
On Teleradyo, Dr. Jose Rene De Grano, president of the Private Hospitals Association of the Philippines Incorporated, said this is to further reduce the number of COVID-19 cases.
“Kung tatanungin kami kung puwede kahit isang linggo pa nating i-extend. But then nasa kanilang desisyon yun, baka magagawa nila na mga flexible na gaya ng ginagawa nila ngayon,â said De Grano.

The agency’s EDSA traffic czar, Edison “Bong” Nebrija gave this guarantee to his followers on Facebook Monday, May 10, even as he pleaded to the public for a “chance to clean their ranks”.
“Give us a chance to clean our ranks of scalawags. We are covered by the civil service code as such we adhere to due process from investigation to termination, no short cuts,” he wrote in a post.
Case in point of this “due process” is the dismissal of two MMDA traffic enforcers for extortion raps, a separate post of which was shared by Nebrija.
