(During this time, minors aren’t allowed out anywhere in the village unless accompanied by their parents.)
With curfew in effect, the barangay also said the village covered court would only hold basketball and volleyball games until 9 p.m.
“Ang tanang sakup sa Barangay Peacekeeping Force gitahasan sa paghimo ug roving operation,” they added.
