In President Rodrigo Duterte's virtual presser on May 28, 2020, he placed the entire National Capital Region (NCR) under general community quarantine (GCQ) from June 1 until June 15, 2020. The GCQ is a less restrictive quarantine compared to the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) where quarantine passes were required.
