Zubiri issued Executive Order 13 on Tuesday, placing Bukidnon under a “general community quarantine.”
Hansel Echavez, head of the Bukidnon Public affairs, Information and Assistance Office, said private and public utility vehicles that are not registered in Bukidnon would also not be allowed to enter.
Echavez said the seven entry points of the province are: Alae, Manolo Fortich; Lorega, Kitaotao; Baungon, Talakag, Kalilangan and Damulog towns.
“Those vehicles especially the buses will not be allowed to enter our province. The passengers will be asked to disembark,” he said.
Echavez said vehicles from the provincial government and towns will be on stand-by at these checkpoints ready to ferry the passengers to their destinations.
“If you are on board a private vehicle and your intention is to have a business meeting in Bukidnon, you will not be allowed entry too,” he said.
Echavez said commuters would be asked for government identification cards or proof of employment in Bukidnon before they are allowed to enter.
