We did an extensive effort and exhausted all options...
It was during our climb in Mt. Hamiguitan while passing the grand pygmy forest when Robert got a call from his mom in Manila, informing him to rush down. The entire National Capital Region would be placed in a state of enhanced community quarantine due to the pandemic. The momentum of the whole team got broken and the time started to tick.
We started to strategize after the climb and rushed immediately to the airport. Since flying back to Manila was no longer feasible at that time, we rebooked to Clark. The following day, Mayor Sara Duterte issued an executive order banning all incoming flights from Clark, and afterward, we learned that the entire Davao would also be placed in a state of community quarantine.
Out of desperation to leave Davao, we rebooked to Cebu and were able to leave on the same day. 4 of the team managed to book a flight from Cebu to Clark upon arrival. The rest including myself took the ferry ride to the province of Robert in Hinunangan, Southern Leyte.
That's how it all started. This is our 68 days quarantine journal and photo album on the shoreline of Eastern Visayas, as Locally Stranded Individuals (LSI).
