‘No more massive lockdowns’, DTI assures

In a statement Friday, the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) said they were assured by Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) officials that the government will not implement massive lockdowns anymore.

Instead, restrictions will be focused on the unvaccinated.

Newly elected PCCI officials paid a virtual courtesy call on DTI Secretary Ramon Lopez and other trade officials on Thursday.

George Barcelon was elected PCCI president anew after his previous term in 2015.

Other elected PCCI officials that joined the courtesy visit were architect Felino Palafox, vice president; engineer Eunina Mangio, vice president; Perry Ferrer, vice president; Sergio Ortiz-Luis, director and treasurer; Samie Lim, director; Alfredo Yao, director; Alegria Sibal Limjoco, former president and chair; Dr. Alberto Fenix and Edgardo Lacson, past presidents; Sallie Lacson, area vice president for South Luzon; Tess Ngan Tian, area vice president for NCR; and Ruben Pascual, secretary general.

In a virtual meeting with PCCI DTI secretary Ramon Lopez said the high level of vaccination rate and the medical treatment already available have led to easing some protocols for vaccinated instead of implementing a total lockdown.

He added that the “no vax, no labas (going out)” policy could be expanded nationwide.
