The city government will again close Abong Abong for the holy week on Good Friday April 2.

Mayor Maria Isabelle Climaco Salazar said during a virtual press conference that “We decided that all public way of the cross will be closed in this time of pandemic.”

This includes Montesanto in Barangay Lumayang and Abong Abong in Pasonanca.

The mayor said, this was decided after a meeting together with the Archdiocese of Zamboanga.

This was done due to the pandemic Coronavirus Disease 2019 which is in the country for more than one year now.

Last year, the same areas were closed due to the  Enhanced Community Quarantine.

Before the pandemic, thousands of devotees go to the said area to do penance and way of the cross.

Salazar said, activities will focus in church. On Holy Thursday curfew will be from 11pm to 4am.
