It would be a 'full blast' for Panagbenga Festival 2023.
Baguio's famous flower festival is set to continue with no obstacle stopping it, according to Baguio Mayor Benjamin Magalong.
According to him, the festival's theme for next year would be 'Renaissance of Wonder and Beauty,' which serves as the event's 'reset button' after two years of being suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Baguio mayor admitted his excitement but also expressed his concern as he expects an increase in COVID-19 cases due to its variants as well as the threat of influenza.
Despite this, Magalong reminded tourists to continue wearing face masks indoors and outdoors to ensure safety.
Meanwhile, the Baguio City government is now preparing contingency plans for the safety of every participant in the festival.
