48 OFWs stranded in Manila return home

Forty-eight overseas Filipino workers stranded in Manila amid the enhanced community quarantine have returned to Bohol on Tuesday.

According to a 24 Oras News Alert report on Wednesday, the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration facilitated the return of the OFWs.

The OFWs were ferried via a passenger vessel. They first passed through Cebu to undergo thermal scanning and physical exam.

The OFWs were then brought to an isolation facility for their mandatory 14-day quarantine.

Earlier, 17 OFWs stranded in Cebu also arrived in Bohol. They also went through health protocols before undergoing quarantine. --Ma. Angelica Garcia/KBK, GMA News
