CARMONA, Cavite – Police here seized almost 30 boxes of assorted alcoholic beverages Monday in violation of the liquor ban under the general community quarantine (GCQ).
According to Carmona Municipal Police Station officer-in-charge Major Diana DC Del Rosario, the boxes of liquor were confiscated in four separate checkpoints throughout the observance of Eid‘l Fitr.
Carmona shares a boundary with Biñan City, Laguna, where the liquor ban has been lifted.
The violators were penalized for disobeying Provincial and Municipal ordinances implemented to curb the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
In a Facebook post Tuesday morning, Governor Jonvic Remulla said he’s set to meet with Cavite mayors to discuss the possible lifting of the liquor ban.
As of May 25, Carmona has recorded seven confirmed cases of COVID-19, with five recoveries and two patients in an isolation facility.
