Vice President Leni Robredo should offer solutions instead of just dishing out criticisms on the movement of stranded individuals to their hometowns, according to a Palace official.
“I just wish the Vice President could actually offer solutions,” Presidential spokesman Harry Roque said over ANC television Wednesday.
He said these individuals undergo coronavirus testing before they are allowed to take their flight or bus ride home. Local government units are also encouraged to conduct another test once these people arrive in their areas of jurisdiction. To persons stranded in the capital, Roque urged them to contact the Department of Social Welfare and Development or the concerned local government unit. “We have also asked also the local government units through the DILG to extend assistance. And if they cannot, at least just to refer them to the DSWD,” he said.
