"Ang panawagan namin samantalahin na ng mga may result na kung kayo ay uuwi sa Mindanao, Visayas, ito na po ang magandang pagkakataon... Ito lang ang tanging available na transportasyon," he told ABS-CBN's Teleradyo. The Coast Guard has done some 23,000 coronavirus tests in total, with a daily average of 1,500, he added.
"Kritikal na gawin namin ito sapagkat alam niyo naman sa mga ibang bansa, yung mga nagakroon ng maraming COVID ay nanggaling sa labas at di nabantayan nang maayos."
