Council raises alarm over city's unsecured IT framework
The Freeman
|August 06, 2025
The Cebu City Council has expressed urgency in launching an investigation into the city’s current Information Technology (IT) policies following reports of unprotected infrastructure that may cripple city operations at any time.
-
As of yesterday’s regular session, the council approved a motion formally requesting the IT Department to submit to the Committee on Information Technology a copy of the current policies and procedures for safeguarding the city's IT infrastructure.
They were also directed to conduct a thorough review of the system to ensure that no unauthorized backdoors have been created that could sabotage government operations or allow external access.
The council further asked the City Legal Office to study how the city can take appropriate action against IT personnel who have been “uncooperative, caused disruptions to IT operations, or engaged in illegal or sabotage activities during their employment with the city.”
