Religious gatherings up to 30% allowed in GCQ areas – Palace

By Prince Golez

Religious gatherings are now allowed at 30 percent capacity in areas under a general community quarantine (GCQ), Malacañang announced Friday.

The government previously limited indoor religious gatherings to 10 percent capacity.

“Pinayagan na ang religious gatherings sa mga lugar sa ilalim ng GCQ na hanggang 30 percent of the seating or venue capacity na dating 10 percent. Ito rin po ay alinsunod doon sa mga naging rekomendasyon ng ating mga Metro Manila mayors,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said during a Laging Handa briefing.

The mayors of Metro Manila earlier agreed to shorten curfew from 12 a.m. to 3 a.m. starting December 1 for the conduct of “Simbang Gabi” or nine dawn masses.

“Wala na kasi tayong Undas, sarado ang ating mga sementeryo. Tapos marami na rin tayong nakansela. So siguro naman kahit papano magkaroon naman tayo ng pagpapatuloy ng ating mga Christmas traditions bagamat 30 percent lang po ang ating pupuwedeng Simbang Gabi,” said Roque.
