MANILA, Philippines — A barangay chairman in Caloocan City has been arrested for allowing a resort to operate and host a  mass gathering, Interior Secretary Eduardo Año said during a pre-recorded briefing of President Rodrigo Duterte that aired Monday night.

Año said the chairman of Barangay 171 had been arrested for allowing the Gubat sa Ciudad resort to operate despite the modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ) imposed over Metro Manila.
