CEBU CITY, Philippines — At least sixteen police stations in Cebu province are “squatting” on lots owned by their respective local government units.
Ouano, chairperson of the Provincial Board’s Committee on Public Safety, Peace and Order, and Dangerous Drugs Abuse Prevention, said there is now a need to renovate old police stations, if not build new ones to provide the police with more specious and suitable office spaces. Ouano cited the case of the Catmon police station that occupies the second floor of the Municipal Circuit Trial Court building in the northern Cebu town. He said that the while the two-storey structure is square shaped, this stands on a rectangular shaped lot.
During their July 15 session, PB members passed a resolution asking Governor Gwen Garcia and the different Cebu district representatives to help ensure the improvement especially of the police stations in Alcoy, Alegria, Badian, Boljoon, Borbon, Carmen, Catmon, Consolacion, Dalaguete, Dumanjug, Ginatilan, Malabuyoc, Ronda, Samboan, Santander, and Tabogon towns that continue to squat on LGU owned lots.
