“All city and national government celebrations, parties, anniversaries, and festivities will be cancelled, while the commemoration of important dates and legal holidays should be kept short. Big celebrations are advised to be postponed until 2021,” the executive order read.
According to the report, the executive order also called on residents to abstain from extravagant celebrations. Sara Duterte also told them that barangay fiestas will be temporarily abolished.
The daughter of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte said if they are going to hod private parties, it should be low key and only invite not more than 25 guests.
“The city government will take legal action in cases of thoughtless extravagance in expenses for pleasure or display,” Sara said.
