The return of the Pinangat Festival in Camalig, this province, on Saturday, June 10, has been postponed due to restive Mayon Volcano. ManilaBulletin

Mayor Caloy Baldo on Thursday, June 8, said the festivity – halted by the pandemic for three years – was moved to a later date as the local government will focus on the safety of residents.

Baldo said that the geographical location of Camalig is always a cause of concern due to its proximity to the six-kilometer Permanent Danger Zone. “Let me reiterate that the safety of the Camaligueños will always be my top priority. With the threat of a volcanic eruption looming, it would be irresponsible to proceed with the Pinangat Festival as scheduled,” Baldo said.

Department of Tourism -Bicol Director Herbie Aguas has issued an advisory that all tourism activities inside the PDZ are strictly prohibited.
