Police Lieutenant Colonel Franc Rudolf Oriol, MCPO deputy city director for operations and spokesperson, said that their personnel were ready to be augmented.

“Andam na atoang personnel for specific instructions sa city government. . We are placing ourself ready to assist the LGU on how to implement or mitigate the spread of ASF here in Mandaue City,” said Oriol.However, Oriol said that they had yet to receive a request from the city government on when the border controls would possibly be implemented.

The city temporarily banned the entry of pork and pork products from red zone and pink buffer zone areas of Cebu Province.ASF scares away pork consumers in Mandaue as city bans entry of pork and pork products from infected areasEarlier, City Veterinarian Dr. Karen Merilles said that they would probably conduct border checkpoints but they would first coordinate with other local government units to know what borders that did not have checkpoints.

Merilles said that they would want to reserve the personnel especially since border controls were already in place in other municipalities. “Magrely ta on the zoning aron dili nato ma-exhaust tanan. This is costly baya and it should strategize. Dili kay nagcheckpoint ang unahan, unya checkpoint na pod,” said Merilles.“Ang amoang gibuhat ron is we communicate with other LGUs kung asa sila wala. Dira ta mostand para mascreen nato tanan,” she said.But Merilles said that once the ASF status would change, the city’s protocols and measures implemented would also change.
