As LGU Quarantine Facilities Fills
12 June 2020
League of Provinces of the Philippines President Governor Presbitiro Velasco Jr. of Marinduque stated that some receiving airports are already overwhelmed by arriving passengers that their quarantine facilities are already full.
"These LGUs are already looking for more quarantine facilities to process additional arriving passengers" Velasco said.
Cebu City processes 3,000 passengers a day while Angeles, Davao, Tacloban and Cagayan de Oro Cities processes 1,000 passengers a day. Meanwhile, Butuan and Dumaguete City process 500 passengers a day. However, for some LGUs like Zamboanga, Pagadian and Dipolog Cities processes 1,000 passengers per week. Naga is receiving 500 passengers a week.
Velasco stated that some of the places these passengers are going to are already covid19 free and they don't want them to enter their Cities without proper quarantine protocols.
The Governor said that some arriving passengers in Samar and Davao were found to be covid19 positive despite undergoing quarantine procedures in Manila prior to their respective flights.
Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) earlier announced Tuesday the cancellation of eight international flights from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver, New York and Toronto originally scheduled for June 10-12, as the carrier was not given the arrival slots at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) because of unavoidable constraints in quarantine processing capacity in Manila.
