MANDAUE City Hall will install more security cameras in public areas and LED billboards on skywalks to augment its efforts to maintain peace and order as well as decongest traffic in the city.

Mandaue City Mayor Luigi Quisumbing said he’s meeting with software suppliers for the city’s command center that will include license plate and facial recognition programs.
