Data from the Regional Civil Security Unit showed that 11,046 licensed firearm holders in the region would be affected by the suspension of the Permit To Carry Firearms Outside Residence.
Thousands of people were expected to come to Cebu during the Sinulog week, particularly on Jan. 15, the feast day of the Child Jesus that had been drawing thousands of pilgrims and devotees to the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño de Cebu and throngs of spectators to the Mardi Gras-like dance parade that would be held this year at South Road Properties, the city’s newest commercial hub that rose out of a city-developed 300-hectare reclamation area.
A multisectoral convergence group of the city government of Cebu earlier recommended to Mayor Michael Rama to ban street parties and implement a liquor ban along the new and old Sinulog grand parade routes as a precautionary measure. “Crowds flock together to drink and party, which becomes uncontrollable. We don’t want the worst to happen,” said Raquel Arce, head of the Cebu City Traffic Office and a group member.
The old Sinulog grand parade route includes parts of N. Bacalso Avenue, P. del Rosario Street, New Imus Road, General Maxilom Avenue and Osmeña Boulevard.As to the proposal to shut down cellular phone signals in key areas where the religious and cultural activities would be held, Bearis said they were still waiting for the response from the National Telecommunications Commission.
