MANILA, Philippines — Malacañang on Friday released the full list of community quarantine classifications for the month of November.
In a recorded address aired Tuesday morning, President Rodrigo Duterte announced that Metro Manila along with a number of other areas would remain under a general community quarantine.
However, a memo from Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea revealed that the rest of the country would stay under a more relaxed modified GCQ for the whole of next month.
