CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Lapu-Lapu City Police Office and the Pangan-an Elementary School in Olango Island, Lapu-Lapu City will have new sets of computers.
This developed after the Lapu-Lapu City Chinese Guild made good their promise to donate more new computers to the Lapu-Lapu City government for their e-Library at the Hoopsdome in Barangay Gun-ob, Lapu-Lapu City.
On Thursday morning, February 13, 2020, Shouqi Zhao, the guild’s president, turned over 18 new computers to Lapu-Lapu City Mayor Junard Chan.
But Chan said that the e-Library had already enough computers, which were also donated by the Lapu-Lapu City Chinese Guild last September 2019, and so these would be distributed to the police and a public school in Olango Island.

On the February 13 donation, Zhouqi Zhao also donated the same brand of computers with built-in CPUs in their monitors to the Lapu-Lapu City government.
With enough computers in the e-Library, Chan instead turned 13 of the 18 computers to Lapu-Lapu City Police Office for their office use.
Lieutenant Colonel David Señor, Lapu-Lapu City Police Office chief, received the computers from Chan on Thursday.
Aside from that, Chan also turned over the remaining five computers to the Pangan-an Elementary School, which was represented by its school principal, Marilou Pacilan.
The school is located in Olango Island, which is one of the island barangays of the city./dbs
