Initiating Social Events During GCQ in Davao

Socializing with friends and family is a vital component of life. Malagos Garden Resort has been extending efforts to promise a safe and sound nature garden resort open even amidst the pandemic. Though the COVID-19 epidemic has hampered our capacity to gather with people in a safe manner.

Davao City’s new Ordinance places the city under GCQ for the whole month of October. That means social events are finally allowed in a 50% maximum capacity of a certain area. Many people have had to postpone or reschedule important events like weddings, celebrations, and family reunions. 

Now is the time to make up for all those missed social events and continue your more exciting plants for your company’s team building at Malagos Garden Resort! These Q&As are intended to assist individuals in making informed decisions about planning events.

Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions

Private gatherings are allowed provided that the venue capacity is capped at 50%. Garden wedding venues in Davao City follow the same rule even in an alfresco setting. On the other hand, social events are allowed up to 30% venue capacity. 

We are so excited to welcome everyone with different venues we have available for you. Coral Pavilion is the largest function room we have available. It is as wide as 500 square meters with a normal capacity of 600 people with chairs only. Adding tables will decrease the capacity to 400. It still is a large number for a Davao city swimming pool resort.

However, with the pandemic restrictions with consideration of the number of staff and other people behind the scenes to make an event perfect, the maximum capacity of venues for guests is only about 30% of the maximum capacity.

In terms of numbers instead of percentage we can say we will only accept at most 60 guests for our largest venue the Coral Pavilion.

Public transportation is still allowed to operate at a limited capacity. Movement to the resort is not a problem at all. Airlines are also open to the public.
