As the country grapples with a rapid increase of Covid-19 infections, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered barangay captains to limit the mobility of unvaccinated individuals on Thursday.

“I am now giving order to the barangay captains to look at all those persons who are not vaccinated and simply request or order them to stay put,” Duterte said during his prerecorded Talk to the People. “If they refuse and go around their house and around the community, wherever magpunta (will go), he can be restrained.”

Duterte stressed that the government’s primary goal is to keep the population safe during the current pandemic.

“I stated that the government’s ministerial job is to devise measures that defend the public interest, public health, and public safety,” he said.

Duterte claimed he made the decision to detain unvaccinated people for their own safety.

“So, in the lack of a legal framework. The president is being pressed to act, and because it is a national emergency, I believe we can restrain ourselves, as I have instructed the barangay captains to do. Under the law, barangay captains have the authority to enforce all of the laws of the land within their communities. That’s the long and short of it when it comes to being in charge “he stated

Duterte encouraged barangay heads to rally residents to keep an eye on those who had not been vaccinated.

The Metro Manila Council, which is made up of the 17 local chief executives in the National Capital Region (NCR), has agreed to pass resolutions tightening restrictions on unvaccinated people’s mobility during the region’s high-risk classification status.

The limitations will be eliminated once the Covid-19 alert level in NCR is reduced from Level 3 to Alert Level 2 or below.
