CEBU CITY – The Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) on Wednesday urged parents here to follow President Rodrigo Duterte's order not to bring children aged 11 years old and below to public places. In a presser, Lt. Col. Wilbert Parilla, Cebu City Police Office deputy director for operations, said they are bent on implementing the presidential directive to help sustain the gains in the fight against coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). Duterte’s order, he said, is meant to protect children who are vulnerable to the viral illness, considering that their age group has not been included in the national vaccination rollout.
