CEBU CITY, Philippines – The Police Regional Office in Central Visayas (PRO – 7) is now gearing up for the campaign period of the local elections, which will start this March 29 or 10 days from today, Tuesday (March 19).

Chief Superintendent Debold Sinas, PRO-7 director, said one of the mandates given to them by President Rodrigo Duterte was to ensure a peaceful and orderly campaign period.
