Zamboanga City – The local government is finalizing its guidelines and protocols in preparation for the adoption of the S-PaSS travel application.
Members of the ZC Task Force COVID-19 Border Control together with the City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office and personnel from the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) met over the week to discuss and finalize details on the S-PaSS protocols in conjunction with the city’s interzonal movement of persons.
Also discussed during the meeting were the mechanisms of the S-PaSS, logistical requirements and concerns, and plans for a possible dry run prior to the roll-out of the application.
The S-PaSS, or the Safe, Swift and Smart Passage, is a travel management information system developed by the DOST for easy coordination in areas with different restrictions and for local travelers returning to or visiting different localities.
The implementation of the S-PaSS is pursuant to the instructions contained in the National IATF Resolution No.101 series 2021 dated February 26, 2021.
In compliance to the mandate, the City Government of Zamboanga shall adopt S-PaSS as the one-stop-shop application for travelers. (LGU Public Information Office)
