Mayor Sara called on barangay leaders to wait for the official government guidelines to unify the implementation of the quarantine passes.
Several village leaders initiated the issuance of quarantine passes in their barangays as a measure to control mass gathering.
The mayor said the quarantine passes are ideal in controlling the people inside the barangays, however, barangays imposed different guidelines and different kinds of passes which confused Dabawenyos.
The mayor decided to suspend the quarantine passes until the city government issues an official order to unify the guidelines for the implementation of the quarantine passes.
“We decided to issue an order sa atong atoang barangay captains to cease the distribution of passes because maghulat sila kung mag order ang city government og passes. (We decided to issue an order for our barangay captains to cease the distribution of passes because they should wait for the city government to order the issuance of passes),” she said.
Mayor Sara said the city will not implement the quarantine passes until the city government implements an Enhanced Community Quarantine.
As of now, the Davao City and Davao Region is still under Community Quarantine, she added. CIO
