BARANGAY CAPTAINS REPRIMANDED

The city has opened a total of 16 routes.
GRATITUDE
- The City continues to thank the companies who have responded affirmatively to our appeal to suspend operations or provide work-from-home arrangements to their workers. The same gratitude goes out to those who continue to open shop to provide the basic and emergency services to Taguigeños, such as pharmacies, grocery stores and banks.- Taguig also thanks the companies who have devised schemes to waive rentals for their tenants, provide salary continuance and emergency loans to their employees, and write off or adjust due dates for their customers.
- We also thank companies and individuals who go out of their way to donate disinfectants, protective equipment and food.
- Thank you also to the citizens who have continued to cooperate with the City in this ordeal. We know you have sacrificed much and we hope to repay that sacrifice with effective service. Please continue to be safe, report offenses to our quarantine guidelines and contact the COVID-19 hotline for queries. Please follow the preventive measures, boost your immune system and keep your spirits high.
