[아시아뉴스통신=페이 기자] Some 27 senior high school graduates stranded in Silang, Cavite have reunited with their families after the provincial government of Pangasinan facilitated their return to the province.
In a statement Tuesday, the Provincial Information Office (PIO) said the students were composed of 14 males and 13 females who graduated from St. Mary of Banneux (The Sisters of Mary) school.
“They were not allowed to go home to Pangasinan since the start of the lockdown in March. Several of them stated that they have been away from their home months before the declared quarantine periods,” the PIO said.
The students were fetched on August 23 by the provincial government’s shuttle buses from Cavite to their respective homes, it added.
“Inclusive of the free transportation, the locally stranded individuals were treated with meals and family packs,” the PIO said.
