Guevarra acted on the call of Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Arthur P. Tugade for law enforcement agencies to stop such activities which he believes have been contributing to the rise of COVID-19 cases.
“We’ll respond to the call of DOTr Secretary Art Tugade. I’ll direct the NBI to look into these alleged incidents of ‘human smuggling’ and conduct a full-blown investigation if there is any indication that the practice is widespread,” he assured.
