Truckers group Alliance of Concerned Truck Owners and Organizations (ACTOO) welcomed the establishment of DCPs, expressing hope for clear guidelines.
Only DCPs, manned by the Highway Patrol Group, are allowed to check cargo vehicles, which are free to pass by the 3,593 other quarantine control points (QCPs).
This aims to ensure the unhampered and unimpeded delivery of essential goods during the ECQ.
