The Tagaytay City local government has loosened its health protocol guidelines now that it reverted to a lower alert level. According to Executive Order No. 405, safety protocols and restrictions were eased—which means liquor ban and curfew protocols were eased until February 15. In Dasmariñas, curfew hours will be between 12:00AM to 4:00AM. The curfew hours do not apply to establishments that operate 24 hours [2].
