Police in Cebu City, who are frontliners in the war against COVID-19, share why they have no time for fear in this times of crisis.

Police Colonel Josefino Ligan, Cebu City Police Office director, inspects Sitio Zapatera, Barangay Luz, when it has been placed in a lockdown. Ligan said that with the responsibiities they carry, they have no time to think about fear. | Photo courtesy of CCPOWhat makes it even scarier is the thought that they too can get the infection and die while they risk their lives serving their fellow Cebuanos during the implementation of the enhanced community quarantine .

Because of what they do, it will not come as a surprise that they, too, are susceptible to the infection.Still, the dangers that come with their job will never be a reason for them to falter. Ligan assumed office as CCPO director early this month or two weeks since the start of the ECQ implementation in Cebu City on March 28.It was also during his first few days when the positive cases for COVID-19 in Sitio Zapatera in Barangay Luz started to rise.

Even before the implementation of the ECQ, Hamis has already instructed his family especially his three daughters to always practice social distancing, proper hygiene and to strictly stay home to avoid possible contacting of the virus.
