LA TRINIDAD, Benguet (PIA) – – Online registration is now required for individuals outside Benguet province who plan to cometo this capital town for varied reasons.
Mayor Romeo Salda issued Executive Order 062 series 2020 requiring locally stranded individuals and returning overseas Filipinos to register online prior to their entry to the municipality.
The registration also applies to returning residents, students, individuals who are coming in for purposes of work/employment, for short trip/drop and Go-24 hour travel, for government and business transactions, and those passing through.
The registration is now required as there were reports from the Municipal Health Services Office that a number of individuals enter the town during the wee hours of the night precluding health authorities from monitoring their entry. This is perceived to be contributory to the recent surge in positive COVID-19 cases in the municipality.
The local government provides steps to follow prior to entering the town. First, secure medical clearance from City/Municipal Health Services Office to get Travel Authority from the Police Station of point of origin.
