"This issue is currently being resolved with the Department of Information and Communications Technology. We can expect higher numbers in the next few days as we resolve the issue," the note from the agency read.
The country's total recorded cases stood at 2,134,005, wherein 151,135 or 7.1 percent are still active infections, the latest Department of Health bulletin showed.

The National Capital Region was supposed to shift to the looser general community quarantine with alert levels system starting Wednesday, but authorities postponed it until Sept. 15 due to several questions on the implementation, Palace Spokesman Harry Roque said.
