First a gun ban then a liquor ban. It seems that government agencies are doing everything it takes to ensure a safe and violence-free election.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMMDA) is bent on extending the liquor ban to up to 45 days before the May 13 elections, similar to the gun ban which has been enforced since yesterday, January 13.
MMDA Chairman Francis Tolentino is planning to file the petition before the Commission on Elections. He stressed that a 45-day liquor ban will help curb the number of drunk driving incidents, The Journal reported.
