Ater said that before the individuals were sent home, they were made to attend a seminar on quarantine protocols and other COVID-19 related health protocols.
According to Ater, they were directed to patrol from time to time along the Gullas Drive area, which is a remote mountain part of Barangay Cadulawan. This area was reported to have been the place where several people stay to drink liquor or just pass some time.
“We will have patrol the area from time to time since residents are complaining that a lot of noise is being made by those who go there and they also leave a lot of trash,” said Ater. /bmjo
