Cebu City authorities are intensifying efforts to enforce anti-mendicancy laws ahead of the Sinulog Festival 2025, expecting a surge in both local and foreign tourists. Officials remind the public that giving alms to beggars is also prohibited under City Ordinance 1631, with violators facing a fine or community service. While the number of street dwellers in Cebu City has reportedly decreased compared to previous years, authorities are concerned about the displacement of beggars to neighboring LGUs like Mandaue and Talisay.
