BACOLOD City – Councilor Cindy Rojas, head of the City’s Repatriation Committee, said more non-Overseas Filipino Workers who are residents of this city are set to be repatriated next week.
Rojas told Daily Guardian here that hundreds of Bacoleños who were stranded in their places of work or study sought the help of the city government to return here.
She said 53 Bacolod residents arrived at Escalante City from Cebu on Wednesday via ship. They were brought to the ETCS4 quarantine center for the mandatory 14 day quarantine.
Rojas said 78 non-OFWs from Manila and Iloilo were repatriated to the city in the past two weeks.
Next week, another group from Manila and Palawan are set to arrive here.
Earlier, a group of students from this city who were studying at the University of the Philippines- Visayas also arrived here.
