Around 400 minors were arrested by Manila Police District (MPD) on the first two days of implementation of the local government’s curfew in the city.

This, after Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso signed a memorandum ordering village chiefs and local police to strictly implement Ordinance No. 8547 which disallows persons below 18 years old from wandering or loitering in public areas.

According to MPD chief Police Brigadier General Vicente Danao Jr., 435 children were arrested by police from Sept. 2  10:00 p.m. to Sept. 3 at 4:00 a.m.
Balut Police Station rescued the highest number of minors with 64.
