ILOILO – Each week only 750 Ilonggo locally stranded individuals (LSIs) would be allowed to return to the province.
According to Atty. Suzette Mamon, provincial administrator, controlling the number of LSIs would ensure their smooth return to their respective localities.
Their concerned local government units (LGUs) would be more prepared, she explained.
The provincial government led by Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr. set the 750 cap during a consultative meeting with the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), and Office of Civil Defense (OCD) yesterday.
Of the 750 returning LSIs per week, 250 would be allowed to take trips via ships while the 500 others would be returning via airplanes to be equally divided by the Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific Air and AirAisa.
This way, according to Mamon, the return of the LSIs would be more smoothly paced.
“Indi man adlaw-adlaw may biyahe ang eroplano karga ang LSIs. May gap sa scheduling para mahatagan time ang LGUs nga maka-preparar,” said Mamon.
Governor Defensor would be coming out with an executive order on this, with detail ed guidelines, she added.
DILG lifted the moratorium on returning LSIs on July 15.
“We have noticed last week daw three days sunod-sunod ang abot nila, and sometimes with a very short notice. Ang iban waay na-coordinate sa municipalities. Of course, nagaka-overwhelm ang banwa. Masugat pa sila, may gina-decontaminate pa nga quarantine facilities,” said Mamon.
As of July 20, data from DILG Region 6 showed a total of 25,768 LSIs have returned to the region. Here’s the breakdown:
* Iloilo City – 924
* Bacolod City – 1,066
* Aklan – 3,163
* Antique – 6,452
* Capiz – 4,497
* Guimaras – 405
* Iloilo – 3,870
