He also reported to the President that the local government units recommends the reopening of the economy.

All Metro Manila Mayors, except Navotas, have agreed to adjust the curfew hours from 12 a.m. to 4 a.m.

Persons aged 18 to 65 years old will also be allowed to go outside in areas under the general community quarantine.
