MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN): The Philippines may implement stricter measures if people continue to disregard health protocols and quarantine restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of Covid-19, President Rodrigo Duterte warned on Monday (June 7) in his pre-recorded briefing.

He did not specify what those stricter measures might be but he pointed out seeing people not following the rules set by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases, particularly in Bacolod in the Visayas and Cagayan de Oro Mindanao.
