“Una, Wala pong problema sa pag tanggap sa mga repatriates, locally stranded individuals and OFWs ,” he said in a Facebook post.
He also had an answer to Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo, who, in his program “Counterpoint” on Wednesday, said that Gomez “panicked” upon receiving word that three planes full of OFWs were arriving in Leyte.
The mayor added that a day later, Año called him and admitted that there was a “miscommunication” that had happened.
