August 08, 2025

In line with the celebration of Cebu Province's 456th Founding Anniversary, Vice Governor Glenn Anthony Soco announced the opening of a 24/7 hotline and help desk under his office.

This new initiative will be based at the legislative building of the Capitol and is aimed at addressing the needs and concerns of constituents across the province.

The help desk will cater to a wide range of requests, including financial assistance, legal support, medical needs, and other urgent social services. Soco emphasized that this effort is part of the provincial government’s vision to expand and strengthen public service delivery.

“We have outlined the services that our office can offer to constituents. The Office of the Vice Governor is now positioned as a place where the public can go for direct, reliable, and timely assistance,” Soco told reporters.

He explained that the help desk will work closely with various government offices, including the individual board members who represent the seven districts of Cebu, to help resolve specific district-related concerns.
