MANILA, Philippines — The air quality in two areas in the City of Manila was logged under the “unhealthy” category on Tuesday, its public services department said.

In a Facebook post, it said that the Air Quality Index in Barangay 128 and Fabella Hospital was “unhealthy for sensitive groups (UFSG)” based on their monitoring as of 7 a.m. on May 14.

“People with respiratory diseases such as asthma should limit outdoor activities within the vicinity of UFSG areas,” the post read.

The air quality in Rizal Park, on the other hand, was noted as “good.”
