Attendees during the grand birthday celebration of Tim Yap in Baguio City who violated the COVID-19 protocols will be fined.
It was on January 17 when the renowned event organizer celebrated his 44th birthday at the City of Pines.
His grand birthday celebration was attended by some of the well-known personalities such as KC Concepcion as well as Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong.
However, it gained the ire of the mass after some footage at the event went viral with some people seen violating minimum health protocols against coronavirus such as not wearing face masks and observing social distancing.
In this regard, the local government of Baguio will penalize those who committed a violation while at the party.
Mayor Magalong cited City Ordinance No. 45 and 46 as the basis for the penalty.
On the other hand, according to Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, the LGU will be held responsible to investigate its city mayor, who’s also the contact tracing czar.
Tim Yap has already aired his side regarding his controversial birthday party.
“What actually happened behind this video is that everybody, they were on their way to eat, to have their dinner,” he said.
“And then all of a sudden, the cultural dance happened. And so, the cultural dancers pulled everybody, including myself who got carried away, we invited everybody to do the cultural community dance,” he added.
