GUINOBATAN, Albay –– Since the implementation of the enhanced community quarantine, the city government of Naga has confiscated 713 leave passes, its official social media account reported on Tuesday.
The home quarantine leave passes were given to one representative per household, aged between 18 and 59, to be used when buying basic commodities within the city.
“From March 17 to April 20, we have already confiscated 713 leave passes within the city,” according to Naga City.
