ENHANCED COMMUNITY QUARANTINE (ECQ) IN MANILA (March 29 - April 4, 2021)
On March 27, the Philippine government announced that the following areas will be placed under Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) from March 29 to April 4 -- National Capital Region including Metro Manila, Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Rizal. This is due to the exponential rise in Covid-19 cases this past week.
While logistics service providers are considered essential and allowed to operate under the ECQ, the Management has made adjustments in our operations to safeguard the health and well-being of our personnel.
We assure you, however, that this will not affect the quality of service that you and our clients deserve.
Due to much stricter security measures as well as restrictions set by the different Local Government Units in the earlier mentioned areas, though, we are anticipating delays and pick-ups and deliveries.
