Antipolo cancels Lenten activities due to COVID-19

Antipolo City has canceled its cityhood anniversary celebration, the traditional "alay-lakad," and other Lenten activities due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Mayor Andrea "Andeng" Ynares announced the cancellation of these mass gatherings and events, similar to what happened last year, until the threat of COVID-19 in the community subsides.

The Maytime Festival is also among the events that have been called off by the local government.

Residents are encouraged to participate in these activities online instead of through physical gatherings.

As of March 18, Antipolo City recorded 198 active COVID-19 cases.

The city government has commenced its COVID-19 vaccination drive, starting with 100 healthcare workers.
