200 fishers stranded in Occidental Mindoro set to come home to Palawan

The stranded local fishermen were under quarantine pending clearance from the PCG Occidental Mindoro. However, the exact date for their voyage home is still to be set.

“They were quarantine [in Mindoro], they weren’t permitted to leave [their boats]. Initial report said they were 200 plus of them but we are going to base on the report from our counterpart regarding how many will leave Mindoro so we know how many to expect here,” he added. Upon their arrival, they will also be subjected to a mandatory 14-day quarantine. PCG-PPC has yet to clarify their quarantine facility, but the initial plan is to have them remain aboard their boats and not be allowed to disembark as they wait for their quarantine period to lapse.
