NBI summons Mayor Vico Sotto over supposed violation of COVID-19 quarantine rules

The National Bureau of Investigation summoned Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto for allegedly violating the enhanced community quarantine imposed by the national government.
NBI Spokesperson Ferdinand Lavin confirmed to reporters that Sotto is now being investigated for his supposed violation of the Bayanihan Law section 4 (g) which mandates all local government units to comply with the national guidelines.
The NBI said that Sotto will be given an opportunity to explain his side why he should not be charged for violating the Bayanihan Act when he reportedly allowed tricycle drivers to operate despite a transportation ban during the quarantine.
The NBI also defended why they are not investigating coronavirus positive Senator Koko Pimentel for breaching his quarantine, they said the President’s order was to investigate local government officials who are on the ground implementing the enhanced community quarantine.
