Corporal Isidro Alcaraz, by virtue of his job, is exempted from quarantine rules, but his wife and elderly parents are not

PANGASINAN, Philippines – A policeman assigned in  Quezon City, his wife, and his parents were arrested on Friday, April 24, for breaching a checkpoint in Rosales town in Pangasinan.

Pangasinan is under extreme enhanced community quarantine. On Friday morning, Malacañang announced that the province was among the areas where President Rodrigo Duterte had ordered the lockdown extended until May 15.  

Alcaraz was allowed to pass through since his job as a policeman exempted him from the quarantine rules. However, his companions were not allowed to be on the streets. 

He sped off and was later cornered by cops at the boundary of Rosales and Santo Tomas towns.  

Colonel Redrico Maranan, Pangasinan provincial police chief, said complaints of disobedience to authority would be filed against the 4 people. An administrative complaint will also be filed against Alcaraz. – Rappler.com
