Mayor Benjamin Magalong issued Executive Order No. 53, series of 2026, temporarily suspending the implementation of the city's number coding ordinance for Public Utility Jeepneys (PUJs) only from April 27 to May 27, 2026.

Number coding for private cars and all other types of vehicles will resume based on Ordinance No. 94-2025 amending Ordinance No. 001-2003, also known as the Baguio City Number Coding Scheme.

In his order, the mayor said the exemption for PUJs is a temporary relief measure aimed at providing flexibility for operators and drivers as they cope with and recover from the effects of the ongoing fuel crisis. He added that the measure will also serve as a provisional scheme to observe and evaluate whether the exemption helps improve public mobility or exacerbates traffic congestion within the city.

Earlier, the mayor ordered the temporary suspension of the city’s number coding scheme for all types of vehicles from April 8 to April 24, 2026, in response to transportation challenges caused by rising fuel prices.

He cited provisions in the ordinance that allow the suspension of the scheme during extraordinary circumstances, such as natural calamities or public disturbances.

According to the mayor, the increase in fuel costs has forced many public utility drivers to reduce or cease operations. This has led to fewer available rides and has caused inconvenience for commuters traveling to work, school, and other essential destinations.

The mayor emphasized that the current suspension is an interim measure intended to help ease mobility for residents while the city continues to assess its impact on traffic conditions. - JM Samidan

BOTANICAL CHRISTMAS GARDEN OPENING TONIGHT

City Environment and Parks Management Officer Rhenan Diwas announces the opening of the Botanical Christmas Garden at 6 p.m. tonight:

"It’s that time of the year again. ✨

"When we first thought of transforming the Botanical Garden into a Christmas garden back in 2022, it was just a fun idea. Because why not? We’ve always loved pushing our boundaries.

"What I didn’t realize was that we’d be doing this every year… and honestly, the fun slowly turned into a quiet obligation, each time we’d have to think of a new concept, a name, a theme, and putting in hours far beyond the usual government day.

"But as long as there is even one person in my team who still gladly does what we do, I’m all in.☺️

"Please accept the garden invitation of FLORIBENEDICTA!

"See you later, our dear people of Baguio and beyond.
OPENS today, NOVEMBER 28 at 6PM."

FAKE NEWS ALERT
The City Health Services Office warns the public against this circulating post containing wrong information about Baguio City.

While the city is on alert for the possible increase in influenza-like illnesses, it is not under lockdown.

The public is advised to be guided by the advisory posted earlier:

𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝘇𝗮-𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗜𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀 (𝗜𝗟𝗜)

With the recent increase in Influenza-like Illness (ILI) cases reported in the National Capital Region, the Baguio City Health Services Office (CHSO) is strengthening preventive measures to help safeguard residents. While no significant increase in ILI cases has been observed in Baguio City, prevention remains the best protection—especially for children, students, and vulnerable individuals. As per Department Memorandum No. 2023-0391, ILI’s case definition is “any person with an acute respiratory infection with ALL of the following: Measured fever of 38 degrees Celsius or higher, cough or sore throat with symptoms.”

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰:
Everyone is encouraged to reactivate and sustain the good health habits we practiced during the COVID-19 pandemic:
1. Wear a mask if you have have a cough, cold, or any flu-like symptoms.
2. Wash hands frequently with soap and water.
3. Observe proper coughing and sneezing etiquette.
4. Disinfect high-touch surfaces like doorknobs, tables, and toys.
5. Avoid crowded indoor spaces with poor ventilation.

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:
Elementary and high schools, universities, and training centers are
advised to monitor the health status of students and staff. Students
with coughs or colds should stay home until full recovery.
Parents are encouraged to bring symptomatic children
to the nearest District Health Center for a medical consultation
if symptoms persist within 3 - 5 days. Schools may consider hybrid
learning options to support continued education.

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗝𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀:
Given the higher risk of transmission in closed settings:
Isolate Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) showing ILI symptoms.
Orient jail personnel on identifying early signs of illness.
Early detection and isolation help prevent outbreaks in crowded facilities.

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀:
Contractors and site managers are reminded to: Provide spacious and well-ventilated barracks or resting areas. Supply masks and ensure symptomatic workers wear them at all times. Maintain handwashing and
alcohol stations. Workers with symptoms persisting within 3 - 5 days should visit the nearest District Health Center for evaluation.

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀:
Employers and managers (e.g., BPO companies, government offices, private establishments) are encouraged to regularly monitor the health of their personnel. Those exhibiting flu-like symptoms should stay home and seek consultation at the nearest District Health Center. Workplaces should promote frequent handwashing and proper cough etiquette. Adequate ventilation must be maintained by opening windows or improving airflow. Frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs, tables, and equipment should be disinfected regularly.
