Police Colonel Geovanie Maines, the acting chief of the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO), has directed the Guadalupe Police to be on the lookout for the two minors and coordinate with their parents for their return.
Maines reminded the parents to bring the children back to the facility should the minors go home to them.
He said parents will face charges on negligence if they fail to take the children back to Operation Second Chance.
“Ang sa atin lang, pag bumalik yung bata sa kanila, ibalik nila sa Second Chance. Babalik kasi talaga yung mga bata sa magulang nila,” said Maines.
(We hope the parents will return the children to Operation Second Chance. We expect the kids to always go back to their parents.)
The four CICL, who escaped on December 22, returned to the facility on December 23.
They said just want to spend Christmas with their families.
