Cebu Roundup: Arrests, Cemetery Security, and Waterway Protection
Three suspects were arrested in the early hours of Sunday, October 18, after a swift pursuit in Barangay Pardo, Cebu City. They are linked to the fatal shooting of a 25-year-old barber in Barangay Tisa.
In a separate case in Barangay Banilad, Cebu City, police arrested a 23-year-old entertainer for allegedly hitting his 26-year-old former girlfriend on the head with a cellphone. The attack reportedly happened after she refused to get back together with him.
Ahead of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day, emergency response teams, police officers, and barangay workers will be deployed to cemeteries in Mandaue City. Their job is to keep visitors safe and provide immediate help if emergencies arise.
Nearly a year after Typhoon Tino reshaped the rivers and streams in Cebu City's upland barangays, the City Council has directed several government offices to step in. They are tasked with protecting these waterways from illegal encroachment.
Meanwhile, a waste disposal company is defending itself as scrutiny mounts over why its waste processing proposal for Cebu City nearly doubled in cost.
