Residents in some Metro Manila cities are unfaithful to the implementation of a Luzon-wide lockdown aiming to halt the spread of COVID-19, a leader of the country&#x27;s pandemic plan said Tuesday. Cases of the respiratory disease have continued to spike in Manila, Quezon City and San Juan because of this, said COVID-19 Response Chief Implementor Carlito Galvez Jr. said. &quot;Tumataas ang cases dahil nakita namin, hindi talaga faithfully naano iyong ating lockdown... Ang daming tao pa rin na nakikita natin sa kalsada,&quot; he told DZMM. &quot;Nananawagan po kami ng patience saka iyong tinatawag nating disiplina.&quot; (The cases are increasing because we see that the lockdown is not followed faithfully. There are still many people on the streets. We are asking for patience and discipline.) The Philippines as of Monday confirmed 4,932 <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/04/12/20/philippines-reports-220-new-covid-19-cases-total-now-at-4648">cases of COVID-19</a>, with 315 deaths and 242 patients who recovered. The lockdown on Luzon, home to half of the country&#x27;s 100 million people was extended for 18 days until April 30 to arrest the pandemic&#x27;s spread. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/04/14/20/duterte-says-likely-to-lift-luzon-lockdown-if-ph-gets-antibody-treatment-vs-covid-19">Duterte says likely to lift Luzon lockdown if PH gets antibody treatment vs COVID-19</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/video/news/04/13/20/cash-aid-first-tranche-out-in-2-weeks-as-luzon-lockdown-nears-1-month-mark">Cash aid first tranche out in 2 weeks as Luzon lockdown nears 1-month mark</a></li></ul>
