Taguig City Mayor Lino Cayetano noted that over 90 percent of the cases were asymptomatic and mild. He attributed the achievement to the behavioral change and ramped-up vaccination efforts.

“Because of this, I want to express our deep gratitude to our citizens, stakeholders and the national government. It has taken us a while to get here — our job now is to help stay the course, continue to learn, adapt and do better,” he said.
