On Monday, the government imposed stricter quarantine guidelines in Metro Manila, Bulcan, Cavite, Laguna and Rizal due to the recent spike in COVID-19 infections.

Under the guidelines, only essential travel—which excludes leisure trips—was allowed in and out of Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
