KC Montero among 100 nabbed for alleged social distancing violations in Makati


Actor and TV host KC Montero was one of about 100 people arrested in Makati City on Sunday night for allegedly flouting social distancing requirements.

According to a report by GMA News' Jonathan Andal, the Makati City police nabbed Montero in a bar and restaurant for violating social distancing rules amid the general community quarantine (GCQ) in Metro Manila to stop COVID-19.

 

 

Montero, however, said there was social distancing.

"I think para sa mga tao na papunta diyan, I think what they thought was it was open. So you’re allowed to go. And on top of that everybody was practicing social distancing. The tables were wide apart, were far apart," he told reporters.

 

 

Among those arrested were the owner and employees of the establishment.

The owner said there was no party held in the establishment.

 

 

Under government guidelines, bars are not yet allowed to open in areas under GCQ. They will only be allowed to open in areas under modified general community quarantine (MGCQ) at a reduced operating capacity. —BM/KG, GMA News
