Marcos makes mask wearing outdoors voluntary
Some good news for those people like myself who detest the wearing of face-masks! The mask mandate was lifted in Cebu province 3 months ago (only in the province, not in the tri-city areas of Cebu City, Mandaue City and Lapu-Lapu), then it was lifted in Cebu City 2 weeks ago, now it has been lifted across the whole country, but only in outdoor settings. A step in the right direction.
