Several malls in Metro Manila will host on-site Simbang Gabi, Christmas and New Year's Day masses this year, allowing the Catholic faithful a more convenient way to participate in tradition.
Religious services indoors are allowed up to 50% of venue capacity under Alert Level 2, which is in effect nationwide until the end of 2021.
Malacañang reminded the public to be vigilant and observe minimum health standards after the Department of Health said the country detected the first two cases of the Omicron variant, said to be more transmissible than the Delta variant.
