BUTUAN CITY CANCELS BALANGAY FESTIVAL 2020 DUE TO ONGOING COVID-19 CRISIS

BUTUAN CITY – The local government of Butuan announced the cancellation of the Balangay Festival 2020 due to the ongoing concern of Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Mayor Ronnie Vicente Lagnada has previously said last March that he is against the idea of proceeding the said festival this year because of the present situation of the spreading disease.

However, St. Joseph Cathedral will still be conducting mass in celebration of the Balangay Festival through Facebook Live on Butuan City PIO Facebook page.
