LA TRINIDAD, Benguet --

agreed to impose border restrictions again from Jan. 10 to 24 to mitigate
spread of Covid-19

Also exempted are cargo and logistics services and service providers for water, electricity, telecommunications and waste management utilities.
Non-residents must present their travel authority and permit.
