From Monday to Wednesday, police have rounded up 24,881 people for violating local ordinances all over Metro Manila.
These include 8,075 people drinking and smoking in public places, 2,672 men roaming the streets shirtless, 2,245 minors for loitering after the 10 p.m. curfew and 584 people engaging in late-night videoke sessions. The rest were apprehended for violating other local ordinances.
The clampdown is being carried out under the "Safer Cities Initiative" to deter crime, according to Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla, whose department has jurisdiction over the Philippine National Police.
PNP officials said those taken in were aware of the ordinances and did not resist being apprehended. Most of the offenses carry fines.
