DILG: Cebu provincial ordinance on relaxed face mask use cannot supersede national laws; PNP to implement mask mandate in Cebu

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) today said that the provincial ordinance passed by the Cebu Provincial Board relaxing the wearing of face masks outdoors cannot supersede President Duterte’s Executive Order 151 which mandates the mandatory use of face masks all over the country except in allowable circumstances.

Statement of the Department of the Interior and Local Government

Hon. Eduardo M. Año
Secretary

The President has directed that we will continue to wear face masks except under circumstances defined by the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EMID). Current IATF protocols allow only for specific instances when masks can be taken off, such as when eating or during certain well-ventilated sports and activities.
