2 Cabinet secretaries filing raps vs Garcia for defying IATF?
Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia is reportedly facing potential legal action from two Cabinet secretaries for allegedly defying the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) protocol for returning overseas Filipinos.
The information was relayed to Garcia by Marinduque Governor Presbitero Velasco Jr., president of the League of Provinces of the Philippines (LPP).
Velasco stated that Interior and Local Government Secretary Eduardo Año informed him that Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque and Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra are considering legal action against Garcia.
Año reportedly emphasized the IATF's firm stance on strictly complying with Resolution No. 114 due to concerns about the transmission of COVID-19 variants.
IATF Resolution No. 114 mandates a 14-day quarantine for arriving OFWs and ROFs, with a swab test on the seventh day.
Upon testing negative, they must complete the remaining quarantine period, with the final four days potentially allowed for home isolation.
