July 20, 2021 In preparation for the “worst-case scenario” against the spread of the Delta variant in the Philippines, Philippine National Police Chief Gen. Guillermo Eleazar alerted all police commanders and the PNP Maritime Group to guard the country’s backdoor against incoming Indonesians and Malaysia to make sure we don’t get through there. According to the PNP chief, the Delta variant is now a serious problem in neighboring Indonesia, so intelligence monitoring and patrol on the country’s southern border should be tightened. Last week, the Philippines included Indonesia among countries with travel restrictions due to the threat of the new variant.
