Police Brigadier General Albert Ignatius Ferro, director of Police Regional Office in Central Visayas , said the 150 SAF troops would also be assigned to quarantine control points and checkpoint areas.Ferro said that aside from helping the Cebu City Police Office secure areas and control the residents from going out, Ferro said that they would also be making sure that there would be no “familiarization” among the securing personnel and the residents by deploying the SAF troops.
