Malacaรฑang previously said that lifting of liquor bans would be the prerogative of Local Government Units (LGUs) as they were the ones to impose it in the first place.

โ€œWell,ย angย liquor banย naman po ay nai-impose,ย kung hindi ako nagkakamali, ng mga ibaโ€™t ibang LGUs [The liquor ban is being imposed, if Iโ€™m not mistaken, by different LGUs],โ€ Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a virtual presser last April.

Hinahayaan lang po natin iyan na desisyunan ng ating mga lokal na mga mayor.” [We will allow the mayors to decide on this matter.]

The LGU has yet to release other details on the lifting of its liquor ban. This is a developing story.
