Palace to LSIs camping outside Libingan: Bumalik muna kayo sa inyong mga tinitirhan

By Prince Golez

Malacañang has asked locally stranded individuals (LSIs) to avoid crowding ahead of their repatriation schedule.

Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque issued the statement following reports that several LSIs who are waiting for their trips back to their provinces began to set up tents outside the Libingan ng mga Bayani.

“Nakikiusap ako doon sa mga nagtitipun-tipon diyan sa Libingan ng mga Bayani, under GCQ (general community quarantine) po hanggang sampung tao lang po ang pupuwedeng magtipun-tipon,” Roque said in a televised briefing Thursday.

The Palace official also urged people taking refuge at the Libingan to go home and wait for further updates regarding the “Hatid Tulong” program.

“Dahil wala naman pong ina-announce na schedule itong programa natin na paghahatid tulong sa probinsiya, nakikiusap po kami kung pupuwede bumalik muna kayo sa inyong mga tinitirhan dito sa Metro Manila at kung mayroon na pong anunsiyo kung kailan ang susunod na Hatid Tulong, ay ipagbibigay-alam naman po natin sa inyong lahat sa pamamagitan po ng media,” he added.

Last July, the government drew flak after photos showing thousands LSIs crammed inside the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex went viral of social media.
