MANILA, Philippines — Quarantine passes will no longer be required in Metro Manila once it shifts to modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) starting Saturday, August 21, Metro Manila Council chairperson and Parañaque City Mayor Edwin Olivarez said Friday.

“Ang pagkakaiba po ngayon, hindi na natin i-implement ang quarantine pass. Ngayon, wala na pong quarantine pass sa MECQ pong yan,” Olivarez said in an interview on ABS-CBN’s Teleradyo.
