The number coding scheme for private vehicles in Baguio City has been suspended from Nov. 19 to Dec. 14.
Baguio City Mayor Mauricio Domogan has ordered the suspension of the number coding scheme to make way for the 65th Mine Safety and Environment Week and the 69th Filipino-American invitational amateur golf tournament.
“We need to suspend the implementation of the number coding scheme for all private vehicles only in the city on the aforesaid dates in order to provide members of the mining industry and other stakeholders and our golfers, visitors and their families convenient and stress-free journey around the city to help boost the city’s identity as the prime tourist destination,” Domogan said in a statement.
The city will host the 65th Annual Mine Safety and Environment Conference on Nov. 20 to 23 while the amateur golf tournament will be held from Nov. 28 to Dec. 15.
Around 1,300 amateur golfers from different parts of the world are expected to arrive in the city. /ee
