EP 59: Coping with Metro Manila Lockdown

It’s been nearly a week since Metro Manila went on lockdown once again this time to contain the delta variant of COVID-19. 

Locking down people, of course, means limiting their movement and shutting down businesses leaving only those involved in essential services. 

The national government has promised cash aid — a maximum of 4,000 for every family. But we know this won’t be enough to last them for two weeks. 

In this episode, Christian Esguerra talked to Navotas Mayor Toby Tiangco and San Juan Mayor Francis Zamora  about how local governments are coping with this latest Enhanced Community Quarantine.
