We have enough food supply
While the entire Luzon is in enhanced community quarantine, President Rodrigo Duterte assured that we have enough food supply. He also mandated barangay officials to ensure that their constituents will get enough food given that thousands of workers’ income are affected by the strict home quarantine for all households.
