BREACH OF PROTOCOL. Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong confirms that San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora and his entourage violated Baguio City's health safety measures on their way to the Baguio Country Club. earned the ire of Baguio’s netizens after word spread that he and his entourage ignored the city’s strict border control and triage system and proceeded to the Baguio Country Club .

The blame fell largely on the lead escort of Zamora's 6-vehicle convoy. Magalong said that Zamora told him that he was asleep in the vehicle when his police escort ignored the border control. Magalong, who was in Manila when the incident happened, said that he asked his staff to set up an emergency triage at the BCC since Zamora’s entourage was already there to minimize possible infection.

“Accordingly, checkpoint personnel radioed the BCPO traffic operations center about the incident and followed the Zamora vehicles en route to the Baguio Country Club. Upon arrival, the group was asked for the required medical health clearance, but since none was presented, was politely told to undergo triage examination.

BCC, one of the upscale vacation spots in Baguio City, recently had a “soft re-opening” to accommodate bookings for work and leisure after receiving a certification from the Department of Tourism- Cordillera Autonomous Region on June 1. However, the club only operates at a 50 percent capacity.The breach of protocol by Zamora’s entourage has made the rounds of social media hours before Magalong confirmed the incident.

The doctor said that the BCC tipped off the hospital and Magalong. The entourage was forced to go to the medical triage. It was not immediately known if Zamora still went back to BCC.The social media posts compelled Co, the Baguio PNP city director, to issue a warning on Saturday night, with approval from Magalong, about the strict enforcement of the entry of visitors.

Miscommunication...my foot!

Citizens, if this doesn't get anywhere and you violated something, don't forget to just apologize and say that it was all miscommunication, okay?

pota tatlumpu kayong umakyat ng baguio!?!? ano ka magc concert sa burnham park?!?!?

First alibi, health issue ng wife nya. Second alibi, tulog sya ng dumaan ng checkpoint. So what's the 3rd? Na-kidnap ka ng mga bodyguard mo at dinala ka sa Baguio? 🤡🤡🤡

Mis communication kasi di nila alam n tongressman sya...

According to reports, his wife’s cancer came back and they went to Baguio for her to rest. He apologized and made no excuses about it unlike Koko crunch. I’m sure he’ll take responsibility for his actions

Mis communication o “THAT PRIVILEGE THINKING AND ENTITLEMENT’?

Mga feeling above the law kasi. The fruit does not fall far from the tree. Right Cong. Zamora?

Compassion kay Koko... Kulong sa mga mahihirap....

you stated in your statement that your wife is a stage 3 cancer patient? So bumalik po ba yung cancer niya? Kasi sabi mo sa post mo ng 2019 eh cancer free na siya. And if she is, di ba alam naman nating immuno compromised ang mga cancer patients undergoing active treatments.

Mayor, you stated in your statement that your wife is a stage 3 cancer patient? So bumalik po ba yung cancer niya? Kasi sabi mo sa post mo ng 2019 eh cancer free na siya.

Just another trapo. Really hope Vico is of different breed.

Why was there a police convoy in the first place when the travel was a personal/family matter? Is it allowed for the mayor to be escorted by his police officer in a family vacation?

What the hell was he doing in BCC?! Wasting resources to vacation when a lot of his constituents are jobless?

Sue him!

Pure arrogance and self-entitlement. How can miscommunication be a reason for breach of a basic protocol that he himself is preaching.

Why insist on MISCOMMUNICATION? Where lies the miscommunication? It is affected ignorance or plain arrogant entitlement.

3 objective points: 1.)police escort’s arrogance in respecting other authorities, isn’t this pandemic 2.)command responsibility (plan of trip should’ve prudently include discussion of intercity protocols (respect)- ‘twas a long trip to Baguio 3.)no 1 is above the law- what now?

O ano na ngayon?

Sarap ng tawa malamang ni Jinggoy

For sure di naman yang mayor ng san juan madidiin kundi ung mga kasama nya lang

ngpapatupad k nga ng health protocols sa ciudad mo pero wla kang pakundangan na balewalain ito ng nangibang bayan ka..asan ang respeto sa kapwa mayor..anu nga b balak nya sa bagiuo..official biz o leisure?

kala ko matino to kya nanalo laban sa mga estrada tsk tsk..
