Passengers aboard BRP Davao del Sur arrive in Iloilo
The Philippine Navy ship BRP Davao Del Sur transported 402 locally stranded individuals (LSIs) and three repatriates from India and Sri Lanka from Manila to Iloilo.
The ship arrived at the Port of Iloilo Tuesday night, and all passengers safely disembarked.
The LSIs were allowed to disembark in Iloilo because Cebu City temporarily banned their entry due to an enhanced community quarantine.
The ship's crew turned over 32,000 personal protective equipment (PPE) sets and medical supplies to the Office of Civil Defense (OCD)-6 (Western Visayas).
The BRP Davao Del Sur was preparing to depart for Cebu to deliver another 16,000 PPE sets and medical supplies.
