And so Rodolfo Cabinta was arrested by cops manning the checkpoint at the borders – but not after he first sped away.Checkpoint cops told Cabinta to turn back, but he sped off, with passengers aboard. Cops found that the driver didn’t have a quarantine pass to even go out of his house, nor could he present his jeepney’s registration documents.
