BAGUIO CITY — The Association of Baguio Chinese-Filipino Youth Inc. and the local government here is set to treat the residents and the visitors of the Summer Capital of the Philippines with a Chinese touch at the famous Session Road on 7 to 8 October 2023.

This is part of the celebration of the Chinese 2023 Mid-Autumn Festival and the public will witness the "Little Chinatown Crawl" and mini Dice Game at Session Road.

Baguio City Mayor Benjamin Magalong in his Executive Order 138, series of 2023 allowed the closure of Session Road for two days to vehicular traffic for the staging of the Little Chinatown.

Also known as the Mooncake Festival or Lantern Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional East Asian festival held on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, which usually falls in September or early October.

"The Festival is a traditional and culturally significant celebration observed by Chinese communities around the world, including a sizable population of Filipino-Chinese in the City of Baguio," said the mayor's EO.

The Baguio City Police Office is directed then to come up and implement a security and traffic management plan to reduce the road closure impact to the public as Session Road is a major route in the city.

Meantime, the Baguio City Engineering Office is also asked to provide the manpower, equipment and devices for the closure of roads and rerouting of traffic.
