The government has set a maximum of five-day stay for OFWs in Metro Manila to prevent crowding in quarantine facilities, Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said. | KAguilarINQ

In a televised meeting with President Rodrigo Duterte aired Friday, Lorenzana said this is to avoid the incident before where 24,000 OFWs got stuck in quarantine facilities in the region.

“Yung pinagtutuunan namin ng pansin ngayon yung repatriation pa rin ng mga OFWs saka seafarers kasi ayaw natin maulit yung nangyari noong nakaraang buwan na naipon sila sa Manila,” Lorenzana said.
