MANILA, Philippines — There should be a 'louder call' to act for the use of face masks instead of reinstating the mandatory status, Senator Nancy Binay said on Thursday. President Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. himself floated the possibility of returning the mask mandate in light of the rising number of COVID-19 infections in the country. For Binay, however, wearing face masks should still be voluntary, but the government should intensify its information drive to encourage its continued use against the deadly virus.
