A total of 444 Filipinos aboard the Grand Princess cruise ship which was held off in California, US due to the COVID-19 arrived early Monday morning at Clark Airbase in Pampanga.

Thirteen Filipino crew members who tested positive for COVID-19 stayed in the US and were brought to a care facility for treatment, DFA added.

“If only I can, within my limited power as Mayor, I will definitely not forsake my own people, my beloved Capaseños, unfortunately over and above all these considerations is my being part of the bigger picture of public governance.I cannot segregate Capas from the rest of the country which needs selflessness and the unrelenting support to the national and global effort to combat COVID-19,” Capas Mayor Reynaldo Catacutan said.

Catacutan said they would offer a welcome dinner for the third batch of repatriates. Individual towels will also be provided. He also pledged for the meals of all the personnel securing the quarantine site.“The same as with previous returning repatriates, Tarlac has made all preparations and is doing all we can. Our concern is the returning residents from Manila who are under the radar.
