According to DILG Sec. Año, the workers just need to present their I.Ds as proof of their employment. He said that there will be checkpoints to and from the metro starting Sunday.

In addition, the DILG secretary has stressed that it is not a lockdown but a restriction of access due to the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) threat.
