Sad, but true: The liquor is current in place all over the country until the end of May 9.
The Commission on Election’s liquor ban has started today, Mother’s Day. During the ban, individuals shall not be allowed to sell, furnish, offer, buy, serve, or take intoxicating liquor anywhere in the Philippines.
Or you can just mix drinks at home.
However, establishments such as hotels, restaurants and resorts certified by the Department of Tourism as tourism oriented may apply for exemption with Comelec. Foreigners may also be exempted from the liquor ban in such establishments.
The Philippine National Police, National Bureau of Investigation, regional election directors, provincial election supervisors, election officers and Comelec election law enforcement team will be tasked to implement the liquor ban all over the country. With an ABS-CBN News report.
