The Taguig City government has now allowed food bazaars to operate under the prevailing heightened General Community Quarantine (GCQ).
In a bulletin, the Taguig Safe City Task Force said food bazaars will be allowed after the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) issued a clarification regarding the operations of Mercato Centrale outdoor food market at Bonifacio Global City (BGC).

In a letter to Taguig Mayor Lino Cayetano dated May 20, DTI Sec. Ramon Lopez said, “The DTI considers the operations of Mercato as a food retail establishment that offers al fresco or outdoor dining.”
