On the other hand, gatherings such as mass gatherings, community assemblies, non-essential work gatherings, and religious gatherings are still NOT allowed in the City of Baguio under the MGCQ classification.

“Now that more activities are allowed during MGCQ, we have to be even more vigilant and cautious because COVID-19 is still a threat to the health of the community. For this reason, mass gatherings, community assemblies, non-essential work gatherings, and religious gatherings will remain prohibited in the city while we are still studying effective health and safety measures to protect our citizens.”
