PAGASA Pres. Steven T. Cua has been featured in the news on television, radio, dailies as well as online guestings on talk shows a week prior to the third major lockdown in Metro Manila from 6-20 August 2021. Abrupt changes in government restrictions on various aspects of the lockdown from curfew hours to Authorized Person Out of their Residence (APOR-only one per household) to shops permitted to operate, limitations on purchasing of BNPCs to shortened store hours and availability of public transport were some of the issues on the discussion table. Most basic in the discussions of course was the supply situation given a one-week announcement before the implementation of an Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) in the country's premier metropolis (extended to what is called the Metro Manila Bubble Plus).
