Chief Superintendent Robert Quenery, Police Regional Office in Central Visayas (PRO-7) Director, reminds the public that the liquor ban is still effective despite the official end of the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) polls.

The nationwide voting has formally ended at exactly 3 p.m.

The liquor ban will be lifted by midnight on Tuesday (May 15).

However, the gun ban will still be enforced until May 21.
