Mall Hours Adjusted in Baguio During Energy Emergency





Some malls in Baguio City have started shortening their operating hours following the declaration of a national energy emergency, as businesses respond to calls for energy conservation amid rising fuel costs.

The Philippine government declared a state of national energy emergency on March 24, 2026, citing the risk of a critically low energy supply linked to tensions in the Middle East. International reports said the declaration was meant to help the government manage fuel supply and stabilize the impact of higher energy costs.
