The local government of Mandaluyong said practices and scrimmages are still prohibited in the city even if regulations were recently downgraded to General Community Quarantine.
Mayor Menchu Abalos made this clarification Sunday, May 16, a day after a Bulletin story came out that Rain or Shine was allowed by the city to hold full practices at Reyes Gym in Barangay Highway Hills.
Rain or Shine had secured a certificate from the City Health Officer but it has since been revoked due to current rules and regulations of the Inter-Agency Task Force.
“The City of Mandaluyong, through its Mayor, Menchie Abalos, clarified that it has not issued any permit or certificate allowing the conduct of practices or scrimmage games for any contact sports at any venue within the city,” Mandaluyong’s Public Information Office said.
