Cebu City gov’t working to send LSIs home

Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella said the city government is already working to send over 18,000 locally stranded individuals (LSIs) home.

CEBU CITY, Philippines — Cebu City Mayor Edgardo Labella said the city government is working to send over 18,000 locally stranded individuals home to their respective hometowns.

The mayor said he is concerned that the LSIs are still stuck in Cebu City, especially since some of them may no longer have a source of income due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. “Naa tay 18,000 nga LSI nga naa pa sa syudad. Aduna pay 11,000 nga ganahan mosulod. Hinaot if ma GCQ ta, mapagawas na nato sila, mapasulod ang uban. Mao na atong gipaningkamutan,” Labella said.

One of the measures the city is intensifying is the contact tracing of Coronavirus Disease 2019 patients so that more tests can be conducted and the city can find out the extent of the spread of the virus in the past month.
