MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte – Merry May will no longer be merry as fiestas to be held on this month or any month under COVID-19 will no longer be celebrated, here.
Even the home of the Mercados usually teeming with people, they may be poor or rich during fiesta will not have visitors on this last Saturday of April where their Abgao village in Poblacion celebrates the feast of St. Vicente Ferrer. Not even a sign to indicate that it was fiesta day in the said barangay can be seen.
And in line with the IATF decision, Mayor Nacional Mercado issued an advisory to forego fiesta celebrations this May and any gatherings that would gather large number of attendees. The month of May is the so-called ‘fiesta season’ in Maasin, where more barangays celebrate their feast day.
