100 bikers arrested in MM for being unauthorized APOR

Many bikers were aghast over arrests and display of about 100 bikers in Manila, and lectured at Plaza Miranda.   Many had the impression that we can exercise between 6 am to 9 am.   But that is qualified to be within the barangay.  That this is a curtailment of human rights and that the police officers are militaristic and many do not understand the science of covid19 transmission, biking being an outdoor activity and risk of transmission is minimal.

Similar arrests were made in Morong. 

However, we should understand the objective of the ECC and stringent measures to implement this.  The risk though minimal should be eliminated.   

We should cooperate with the public health officials.  Follow the laws and stay at home.
