Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr. has ordered the public to avoid the conduct of any “face-to-face” holiday parties among individuals not staying in the same household from Dec. 6 to January 10, 2022.
Mayor Lazatin issued this thru Executive Order No. 30, advising his kababayans to stay vigilant despite the steady decline of Covid-19 cases in the city.
“Ginagawa lamang po natin ang mga necessary safety measures bilang pagiingat po sa ating mga kababayan, lalo na po ngayon na mayroon na namang bagong variant na nadedetect sa ibang bansa,” Lazatin explained.
The EO also stated the prohibition of any Christmas and New Year parties, reunions, and similar social gatherings for offices, establishments, and companies; reunions with family members who live in different households; reunions with former colleagues and schoolmates; and parties with individuals who are part of the same group or organization.
“Let us not put our guard down. In this upcoming holiday season, we should be of help to one another in putting an end in this pandemic. Ito naman po ang tunay na kahulugan ng mga selebrasyon na ito — pagmamahalan at pagtutulungan,” Lazatin urges.
