Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong suspended the night market run along Harrison Road a few hours after its reopening on Tuesday evening due to “apparent crowd control lapses.
The lighting of the giant Christmas tree in Baguio, as well as the opening of its famed night market, drew criticisms on social media last night as throng of residents and visitors were out on the streets to witness the event, visibly ignoring physical distancing guidelines. “At 8:30 manageable siya , 9:30 dumagsa na yung mga tao at doon na kami nagkaroon ng problema . After an hour, nacontrol yung crowd and at 10:30 manageable na ulit yung crowd .”“You blame me for what happened and I am doing my best to correct,” he said.
