BEIJING — President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said Thursday that imposing travel restrictions on inbound travelers from China should be “based on science.”
“Is there really a risk? Example, if a Chinese national has tested three times already to be negative and that’s what 48 hours before they travel, hindi na sila kailangan i-test but if they have not been tested, we will ask them to be tested before they get on the plane. Nothing new, ganoon na rin ang ginagawa natin ngayon eh. We’re not only doing it for China, we do it for other countries who we feel have higher risk factor than the Philippines,” he added.
“‘Yun lang naman ang ano eh, ano ba talaga ang risk, huwag tayong gumagawa ng rules na sagabal pa sa ating ginagawa, gusto nating mag-tourist, gusto nating magpadala ng… the problem is the management of COVID here in China sa ngayon, so sila man sabi nila hindi naman immediate makakabiyahe na naman ang Chinese nationals kaya’s siguro in the meantime, we just watch and wait. I’m sure hindi naman sila magpapaalis ng tao na positive,” he said.
