LAPU-LAPU CITY, Philippines — The Lapu-Lapu City Police Office (LCPO) has already placed themselves in full alert status in lieu of the upcoming celebration of Christmas and New Year.

Due to this, Lim said that they had already minimized the leave of absence of his personnel.

Lim said that aside from giving security to all churches during start of “Simbang Gabi” on Dec. 16, they would also focus on giving security to parking areas and traffic.

He said that they would also secure the vital installations within the city, such as terminals, ports, the airport and the borders of their neighboring town and city, especially the two bridges that connects the city and Mandaue City.

Lim said that he had already ordered his unit commanders to maximize the deployment of their personnel.

“Manindot pa gyud atong security coverage para sa Ligtas Kapaskohan, but mao nato, ang basic nga i-ensure nato nga tanang simbahan during Simbang Gabi. Naa gyud na siyang mga security personnel, maximum number of personnel assigned in LCPO,” he added.
