Mayor Julieto Flores of Barili stated that it was obvious that health protocols had been broken. As a result, he had no choice but to issue a temporary closure order while the matter was investigated.
“Nakita natin sa video na nagsasayawan ang mga tao ng walang face mask ‘yung iba. Malinaw na mayroong violation,” Flores said.
“They have a business permit but because they failed to implement the minimum health protocols amid the pandemic, we will issue the temporary closure order,” he added.
