following the report of a woman who skipped quarantine and partied in Makati City after arriving from the United States.
He asked Interior Secretary Eduardo Ano to place policemen at hotels contracted by the government as quarantine sites. The Department of Interior and Local Government has supervisory power over the Philippine National Police. Guevarra directed NBI officer-in-charge Eric Distor “to conduct a thorough investigation of possible willful violations of mandatory quarantine regulations, starting from the arrival area in our international airports up to facility/hotel-based and home-based quarantines.”
According to him, one possible scenario was that the airport might be the starting point of their racket, and that instead of bringing the new arrival to a quarantine facility, the person would be allowed to go home. However, the Justice Secretary warned that the hotels found violating the quarantine regulations might face administrative sanctions as well as cancellation of their business permits and eventually the closure of their businesses.
Violators would only be required to pay a fine of between P20,000 to P50,000, or an imprisonment of one to six months imprisonment.
