This comes after the Cagayan de Oro Chamber of Commerce and Industry submitted a position paper to ask local officials to review the QR code ordinance
The Cagayan de Oro City Council suspended the implementation of an ordinance that compels commercial establishments here to refuse entry to people without QR codes that can be downloaded through an app developed for the city.
The decision came after the Cagayan de Oro Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Oro Chamber) submitted a position paper to ask local officials to review the QR code ordinance.
Councilor George Goking said the Oro Chamber’s opposition pressured the City Council on Monday, April 5, to move the full implementation of Ordinance No. 14023-2021, otherwise known as the “Higala App” city law, from April 7 to May 5.
