The Driver has travel history from Manila…

Here, we have this small public transportation called “padyak”. It is a bicycle with sidecar operated by pedals and is allowed to fetch and send passenger in areas within the community areas only. I rode one when I claim my rice at the community hall where it is not that far from us. I could have walk instead since the 10kg rice is not that heavy for me. The driver chatted a bit about his situation in Manila during the lock down. He worked there before the pandemic but chose to return home since their work has stopped. He just returned home last June 16, part of the national government to send locally stranded people to their provinces. Before he could tell more, I was quick to react if he underwent home or facility quarantine since it is mandatory to returnees before they can roam around or go out in public. He replied yes but that bugs me because if I calculate the number of days from the date of his arrival, it’s still his 14th day now.
