MANILA, Philippines — Monday marked the start of the full implementation of the Transportation Department's order to implement a "no vaccination, no ride" policy on all modes of public transportation in Metro Manila. 

 

In a series of Viber messages on Monday morning, the Department of Transportation assured Filipinos that the implementation would not be as strict in the beginning.

 

"[The] implementation of the policy must be tolerant and patient, but firm...Enforcers will do their best to just cite warnings. In the coming days, that's when they'll give tickets," Transportation spokesperson Goddess Libiran said.
