Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 9) — Amusement park Star City has postponed its reopening due to the rising COVID-19 cases in the country.
“Mukhang may ma-postpone na re-opening,” they said in a Facebook post on Saturday. “Sorry na…Na-excite lang talaga kaming mag-announce, na-miss kasi talaga namin kayo. Kaso dumadami ‘yung mga COVID-19 case so doble ingat muna. Siyempre mahal namin kayong mga guest at employee namin and ‘yung health and safety nyong lahat ang priority ni Star City.”
[Translation: It seems the reopening would be postponed. We’re sorry. We just got excited to announce, we just really missed all of you. But COVID-19 cases are rising, so let’s be extra careful. Of course we love our guests and employees, and your heatlh and safety is Star City’s priority].
“Pramis, pag okay na ang lahat magkikita-kita tayo muli. Sure na!” it added.
[Translation: We promise that we will see each other again once everything is okay. That’s for sure!]
Located in Pasay City, Star City was supposed to reopen on Jan. 14. It closed its doors to the public in 2019 after a fire razed the place.
Although amusements parks are allowed to operate at a limited capacity under Alert Level 3, COVID-19 cases continue to rise in the country. On Saturday, the country broke its highest single-day tally of infections with 26,458 new cases recorded.
