MANILA, Philippines — Filipino passengers of a flight from South Korea complained on Wednesday that the hotel in Tagaytay City where they were undergoing the mandatory 14-day quarantine was untidy and had a stench that made it unlivable. The passengers were then shuttled to a hotel in Tagaytay for quarantine. The passenger said they thought they would be staying at the hotel for three days.
