MANDAUE CITY, Philippines — The newly constructed two-storey Mandaue City Police Office (MCPO) building located along A. Soriano Avenue in Barangay Centro was inaugurated on Thursday, June 17, 2021.
Police Regional Office 7 (PRO-7) Director Police Brigadier General Ronnie Montejo led the inauguration and blessing of the MCPO building with Mayor Jonas Cortes, Vice Mayor Glenn Bercede, Police Colonel Jonathan Abella, former MCPO Director, and new MCPO Director Police Colonel Roland Bulalacao.
The building, which costs P16 million has a lot area of 298 square meters.
