The Freeman
|April 11, 2025
With Holy Week fast approaching, Cebu City is ramping up efforts to ensure peace and order in areas of public convergence, boosting police visibility and presence across the city.
-
Yesterday, April 10, 2025, officials and police station chiefs of the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO), members of the Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO), the Cebu City Transportation Office (CCTO), and officials of the Cebu City Government, headed by Cebu City Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia, convened for a meeting.
While Garcia assures that the security measures for the Lenten season are already part of an annual template, he stressed on the need to reiterate specific details, particularly in ports and terminals, which must be filled with police presence and visibility.
“Because you know, when people converge in public places there is always a propensity nga you know naay mga petty crimes, snatching, etcetera,” said Garcia.
To underscore this directive, Garcia said he is set to inspect convergence areas, particularly the ports and terminals, this Wednesday.
