In a press conference, San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora said he signed City Ordinance 45 series of 2020 which imposed higher fines ranging from P3,000 to P5,000.“Before P1,000 for the first offense, P3,000 for the second offense and then third offense P5,000. Now, immediately, it is P3,000 for the first offense and for second and succeeding offense, the fine is already P5,000 or violators may face three months imprisonment,” Zamora said in mixed Filipino and English.
The ordinance was signed to ensure health protocols are being followed by citizens which would eventually decrease transmission of COVID-19, Zamora also noted.
