Silay police chief: Maraming nagrereklamo sa ating mayor na bumabalik na sa normal 'yung galaw ng mga tao. Kaya 'yung ginawa ng kapulisan, nanghuli ng mga hindi naka face mask at hindi nagoobserve ng physical distancing.
Silay police chief on parading quarantine violators as zombies: Pinalinya lang natin sila at dinala sa covered court malapit sa police station, mga 20 meters lang po. Kung hindi nakataas 'yung kamay, magsisiksikan sila.
