The concerned police officers were also ordered to submit their respective written explanation “to shed light on the issue,” according to Sinas.
“I will not condone any wrongdoing of our police officers in the implementation of the community quarantine protocols, if held responsible. We, as law enforcers, are bound to respect the existing rules and regulations anywhere in the Philippines. The safety of the people remains our top priority in these trying times,” he added.
Checkpoint personnel then informed the traffic police of the city, which followed Zamora’s entourage to the Baguio Country Club. Upon arrival, Zamora’s group was asked to present the required medical clearances but failed to present any. The group was then asked to undergo a triage examination, according to Magalong.“He profusely expressed deep regrets that while asleep in his car at the time, the PNP escort leading his convoy mindlessly took it on his own to ignore what has long been a standard border protection measure prescribed not only in his but our own city,” Magalong said.
