LAPU-LAPU CITY, Philippines — The Lapu-Lapu City Police Office (LCPO) will investigate a beach resort in the city for possible violation of the health and safety protocols when it hosted a party on the night of the city’s fiesta.
On the night of the fiesta celebration of the Nuestra Señora de la Regla on Saturday, November 20, 2021, Facebook user Orlich Soliano, posted a video wherein people were seen having a beach party.
It can be seen in the video that those who participated in the beach party were not wearing face masks, and not observing social distancing.

Banzon added that they will also trace the person who posted the video on Facebook.
