Instead, they found an alternative livelihood in their locked down community.Jenelyn Edralin, who used to work in a bakery, has been selling vegetables in her neighborhood instead.“It’s better to sell than work since you won’t spend for fare and your food,” she said.Mayor Edgar Labella is hopeful the city&#x27;s request to be placed under General Community Quarantine status after July 15 will be granted.“We have a high recovery rate. They should look into that,” he said.

A day after the hard lockdown was lifted in some areas in Cebu City, apprehensions were still made Tuesday by authorities of individuals who violated quarantine protocols.
