The Philippine government has revised the quarantine classifications for the month of January, downgrading Iloilo and Isabela to modified general community quarantine (MGCQ).

In an earlier briefing, President Rodrigo Duterte announced that Metro Manila, Davao City, and 7 other areas are under GCQ until January 31.

In a statement on Friday, January 1, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said that the President approved GCQ for the following areas:

  • Metro Manila
  • Santiago City
  • Batangas
  • Tacloban City
  • Iligan City
  • Lanao del Sur
  • Davao City
  • Davao del Norte

The rest of the country are under MGCQ. In Isabela, only Santiago City is under GCQ but the rest of the province is under the loosest quarantine classification. – Rappler.com
