(SPOT.ph) Outdoor dining is now allowed again since the modified enhanced community quarantine took effect on April 12. If you have to step outside of your house—for work, to get essentials, or run errands—and find yourself hungry in between tasks, these al-fresco options are for you. Just remember that if you do decide to drop by restaurants, be sure to follow safety protocols.
