CEBU CITY – With Christmas just around the corner, carolers are expected to become a common sight in this city's major streets and inside public utility vehicles.
Police Lt. Col. Maria Theresa Macatangay, CCPO deputy city director for operations, said all police stations were reminded to reprimand street carolers as their presence on the road and inside jeepneys exposes not just themselves but also commuters to danger. Macatangay said the CCPO will also focus on addressing the increasing number of beggars on the streets.
Board chair Lucille Mercado said the aim is not to ban caroling but to regulate it to protect the welfare of carolers and residents.Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia expressed support to the move. He said he will talk to the Business Permit and Licensing Office to make the process more accessible to the public.“Our purpose is more of monitoring so that it will not be abused,” Garcia said.
