BAGUIO CITY -- The
alumni homecoming here at the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) will push
through this weekend, but will be exclusive for its alumni and their immediate
families.
Capt. Cheryl Tindog,
PMA spokesperson, said members of the media would be barred from covering the
event.
“This is part
of of the academy’s precautionary measure against the coronavirus disease-2019
(COVID-19)... We are limiting the crowd at Fort Del Pilar,” Tindog said.
Originally
scheduled from Feb. 13 to 15, the PMA alumni homecoming was postponed due
to the threat of the flu virus.
The Baguio
City government also postponed major public gatherings, including the
Panagbenga Festival, to ensure that the city remains free of COVID-19.
PMA was
closed to tourists also due to the flu virus.
Several towns
in the Cordillera imposed a lockdown on tourists to prevent the spread of the
acute respiratory disease.
Several other
festivals were cancelled.
