3 Cebu towns support Garcia’s face mask policy

Mae Fhel K. Gom-os

AT LEAST three municipalities in Cebu Province have adopted the controversial executive order (EO) of Governor Gwendolyn Garcia that allows optional wearing of face masks in well-ventilated and open spaces.

This, despite the ongoing rift between Garcia and outgoing Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo Año over the EO.

Medellin town Mayor Benjun Mondigo told SunStar Cebu on Friday, June 17, 2022, that the Municipal Council has already passed the resolution adopting the ordinance of the Provincial Board titled “An Ordinance Rationalizing the Wearing of Face Masks within the Province of Cebu” last week.
