Another batch of repatriated overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) are set to arrive in Bohol tonight, May 26, 2020.
At least 127 Boholano OFWs will arrive at around 7 p.m. at the Bohol Panglao International Airport via Royal Air flight A319.
They will be brought straight to a hotel in Panglao for a 14-day quarantine.
These Boholano OFWs were already quarantined in Manila.
This latest batch underwent Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests and all tested negative.
In a late night briefing on Monday, President Rodrigo Duterte called on local government units (LGUs) to accept these OFWs.
He warned that those who will refuse to do so may face charges.
He again reiterated that only the Inter-Agency Task Force on the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases may impose travel restrictions.
Some provinces were initially reluctant to allow returning OFWs who arrived in Metro Manila in April, prompting the IATF order.
This is a developing story.
