, she said, “After this incident , somebody gave the name, even gave pictures that the day [this other person] arrived, she had a massage and she was even posting it on Instagram stories! Very proud ha, that she was skipping quarantine. And the person who knows her even gave a sworn affidavit. The person has since been caught.”
Despite this new case, the tourism chief stressed that “majority of hotels comply” with government’s mandatory quarantine procedures. “There are just a few bad eggs,” she said, referring to the “absentee quarantine” practice, which was first reported by the BusinessMirror last week.
Based on Seda RM General Manager Marc Cerqueda’s report, the woman claimed that “no car picked her up” upon her arrival from the US at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport on December 22. “The hotel management, however, claimed that when its personnel went to the airport to pick up the individual, according to the procedure, the individual evaded going with hotel staff by claiming a quarantine exemption that turned out to be non-existent,” said Romulo Puyat in a news statement on Monday.
Cerqueda declined to talk to about the incident, saying the DOT is already investigating the quarantine violations of said guest.
