VALENZUELA CITY, Philippines — The Valenzuela City government is strictly enforcing its curfew ordinance for minors aged 17 and below as part of efforts to maintain public safety, peace, and order.
Under the city’s curfew regulations, minors are prohibited from roaming, loitering, or staying in public places, streets, and establishments between 10:00 PM and 4:00 AM.
