Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who wish to go to their respective provinces after arriving at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) beginning March 15 should stay in Metro Manila until the lifting of the domestic travel ban.
“When they arrive here in Manila, they should stay in Manila until the lifting of (the domestic travel) ban,” Civil Aeronautics Board chief legal officer Wyrlou Samodio told the Philippine News Agency (PNA in a text message on Friday.)
When asked if the government would shoulder their stay, he simply said no.
Samodio said OFWs coming from the provinces, on the other hand, will be allowed to go to NAIA to return to their work.
“International flights are allowed. They could go back,” he said.
President Rodrigo Duterte announced on Thursday night the implementation of one-month community quarantine in the National Capital Region.
Land, domestic air, and domestic sea travel to and from Metro Manila shall be suspended beginning March 15 and will end on April 14 “subject to the daily review by the inter-agency taskforce”.
