Caloocan closes resort for operating against gov't protocols
MANILA, Philippines — Caloocan Mayor Oscar Malapitan on Sunday shut down resort in the city for operating despite quarantine protocols in the capital region disallowing it.
Photos this afternoon went viral on social media showing a number of Filipinos swimming at the Gubat sa Ciudad Resort in Barangay Bagumbong.
The STAR, quoting Malapitan, reported that the resort's business license will be revoked following the incident.
