“Lahat ng mga mapapatunayang lumabag sa ating guidelines at mga ordinansa lalo na ‘yung mga nagkukumpulan at nag-iinuman o nagka-karaoke ay iisyuhan ng ordinance violation receipt (OVR) at maaaring makasuhan sa ilalim ng RA 11332,” she said.
Under the general population quarantine, massive social events are also prohibited, according to Belmonte. Meanwhile, the barangay officials in charge of the pool party have yet to issue a response.
