“The coworkers of the ambulance driver had already told him that it is illegal for him to use the vehicle to transport unauthorized passengers. But he still went on and made the trip to Manila and back,” Araja told the Inquirer in a phone interview.
According to investigators, the suspects allegedly “connived with each other to disobey the quarantine order and decided to travel without authorization using the municipal ambulance.” The seven passengers were turned over the local government of Infanta to undergo the mandatory 14-day quarantine period while the charges were being prepared against them.
Araja said they allowed the ambulance driver to return the vehicle to General Nakar and attend to other emergencies. “But after returning the vehicle, the driver was nowhere to be found. We will also file a case against him,” said Araja.
