At least 37 persons who traveled home to Zamboanga Sibugay from Cebu City are currently held for quarantine in Ipil town, the province’s capital.
Although the Ipil task force mentioned about 39 persons, a list of the travelers obtained by the Inquirer only listed 37.
Zamboanga Sibugay Governor Wilter Palma earlier asked Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia to allow his stranded constituents to travel by boat to either Dipolog or Dapitan. However, personnel at the quarantine checkpoint in Titay town, at the border between Zamboanga Sibugay and Zamboanga del Norte, refused them entry as they don’t have quarantine passes.Checkpoint personnel also did not know about the circumstances of their travel, hence, they have to pass the night at the border.
