Flood has subsided in many parts of Alcala. But debris in the aftermath of the deluge is slowing down relief operation as inner roads are still not passable. In Jurisdicion village, residents had to walk and meet stranded relief op vehicles for aid. #Cagayan#UlyssesPH

Q: I live outside Metro Manila. But I work there. Can I still go?
A: Yes, you can. Although you would need to show company IDs at the checkpoint. For those who do not have company IDs but have work in Metro Manila, gov’t is still discussing possible requirements.
