MANILA, Philippines — Las Piñas City has asked its residents to stay home as it assured them that their local government will deliver relief right at their doorsteps while an “enhanced community quarantine” is in effect in the whole of Luzon.

It was not clear as of this posting why local residents trooped to the city hall on Wednesday. But the Las Piñas City government said it is upset over the incident.


“Ikinalulungkot namin ang nangyari kahapon kung saan ang ilang residente ng Las Piñas ay nagpunta sa City Hall,” read the statement from the city’s official Facebook page on Thursday.
