Over six million Filipino Muslims in the country today celebrate the Eid’l Fitr or the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. As with the Quincentennial celebrations of the Filipino Catholics, the celebration cannot be held with large gatherings amid the pandemic’s health protocol on social distancing.
Dr. Ijodin Hadk-Azis Mamacol, executive director of thhe Office of the Muslim Affairs and Indigenous Communities (OMAICC) of the City Government, said Muslims in Cebu City won’t hold a centralized prayer of 800 faithfuls at the Cebu City Sports Center as planned since the facility can only accommodate 200 according to the limitation set by the Emergency Operations Center.
