TAGBILARAN CITY – The mood was supposed to be festive and bright. But Tagbilaran City was silent on Friday even as it celebrated its fiesta and transitioned to more relaxed measures against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). ADVERTISEMENTCity Mayor John Geesnell “Baba” Yap II has placed the city under a one-day “lockdown” to make sure there wouldn’t be too much merrymaking. In his executive order, the mayor also ordered the closure of all four malls in the city to prevent people from converging. But since the city was placed on lockdown on Friday, there were few vehicles along its thoroughfares.
