Fiesta, Parade in Malolos Under Probe Over Alleged Health Protocol Violations
Local government of Malolos orders probe against the fiesta and parade hold in the city for allegedly violating COVID-19 health protocols.
Despite repeated warnings from authorities about government restrictions placed to reduce the number of people infected with COVID-19, residents of a barangay in Malolos, Bulacan, seem to disregard them.
Many residents of Barangay Look 1st can be seen dancing in the middle of the road as a motorcade passes by for the festival in a video posted by GMA. Without face masks or face shields, people and others are almost sided by side.

Loud music and laughter can be heard in the video. When driving to the accompaniment of loud ringing from the motorcade, some of them are holding a picture of Nuestra Seora de Sto. Rosario.
The incident dissatisfied the city mayor, Mayor Bebong Gatchalian, who ordered the police to investigate the festival held in the said barangay. The residents’ intention to stage a religious festival was not brought to his attention, according to Barangay Look 1st captain Romeo Santiago.
Only the motorcade was allowed, according to the organizers. The individual seen in the video dancing while holding a statue was just in front of Captain Santiago’s house, he said.
As the motorcade went by, the man reportedly danced with the statue. Despite this, the captain expressed regret for what had occurred and stated that he was prepared to face whatever the investigation’s outcome could be.
