Three senators criticized the new government policy limiting inbound arrivals at NAIA to 1,500 passengers a day beginning Saturday, March 20, as it is 'unenforceable' and disadvantageous for OFWs.

beginning Saturday, March 20, as it is"unenforceable" and disadvantageous for overseas Filipino workers .

OWWA Administrator Hans Cacdac said that they deferred to the National Task Force Against COVID-19 on the policy. He said that the reason for setting the cap at 1,500 is “health-based” and also based on “historical arrival data.” Villanueva and Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon said that since it was just NAIA imposing a cap, returning Filipinos would just go to other ports of entry like in Clark Freeport in Pampanga or Cebu.
