Last March 16, the island of Luzon was placed under enhanced community quarantine by the Philippine government in an effort to slow down and stop the spreading of the COVID-19 virus. This suspended many services, including mass public transportation, land, air and sea travel, and mall and retail operations.
Everyone is also advised to strictly stay in their homes, going out only to buy necessities like food and medicine.
