President Rodrigo Duterte has decided that the international arrival protocols set by the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases must be enforced in Cebu.
“The President has decided that the IATF protocols must be implemented by the Cebu Province,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque Jr. said Monday, June 14, 2021, quoting the Office of the Executive Secretary.
Duterte and Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia on Monday met for about 2 hours to thresh out this difference, said Palace spokesman Harry Roque.
“Ang sabi pa rin ng Presidente, ang mga national policies dapat sinusunod ng lahat,” he said in a press briefing.
“The last extension (of the diversion of flights from Mactan-Cebu International Airport to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport) was just in preparation for the full implementation of that decision,” Roque added.
Still quoting the OES, Roque said the President had considered the Department of Health (DOH) critique of Cebu’s protocols and decided that Cebu Province must abide by the IATF policy.
