The QCPD said the arrested individuals “were caught in the act of drinking alcohol” and violating a liquor regulation ordinance and other health protocols. The Quezon City curfew runs from 10 pm to 5 am.

The 95 were brought to a police station after being rounded up, and will be charged for various offenses. Rappler has reached out to QCPD for more information whether they have been released, and when.
