The number coding suspension was suspended from Feb. 13 to March 2 or a span of 19 days covering private vehicles only.

Domogan said this was needed as the Philippine Military Academy was holding its alumni homecoming third week of February.

“Let’s allow our tourists to freely roam around the city and enjoy their desired break from the extreme heat of the lowlands and actively participate in merrymaking during festivities,” Domogan said.

The city is expecting number of visitors to double in the city’s celebration this year.
