The city council requested through Resolution 250 s. 2022 the City Environment and Parks Management Office to rectify the clothing of the sculptures at the Igorot Freedom Monument at the Igorot Garden.
The resolution states that if sculptures and monuments are constructed to depict culture and historical events, they should be made properly and meticulously to express their intended theme and represent the genuine culture and traditions of the place and its people.

In Resolution 249, s. 2022, the Department of Health-Cordilleraand the City Health Services Office were requested to assign a psychologist in every Covid-19 isolation unit in Baguio to provide counsel for the patients.

The resolution also mentioned about a memorandum of agreement between the City of Baguio and Baguio General Hospital and Medical Center relative to addressing stress and depression for Covid-19 patients but its scope is limited only to those admitted at the BGHMC.

This is to guide patients alleviate their situation because good and positive mental attitude could boost immune cells which helps the body fight off sickness and discomfort.
