+ SEVERAL annual events in the city and La Trinidad were recently called-off by local authorities.
Foremost are the Panagbenga Fair in the city set in February and the Strawberry Festival in La Trinidad a few weeks later. Both events are geared to jumpstart the tourism months in the summer that draw thousands of tourists to the city and the Capital Town of Benguet.
The cancelations of these events, initiated by the respective local government officials, are commendable for health security from the coronavirus epidemic that ensnared the lives of thousands of Filipinos and some three million persons around the globe. Benguet, which geographically enclose Baguio City, has been in the top five list of coronavirus-infected provinces in the country.
