TO SHOW the true identity of a Skeptron, the Skeptron Alumni of Cebu (SAC) East conducted an outreach activity for the poor residents of Barangay Bankal, Lapu-Lapu City on Saturday Dec. 12, 2020.

SAC members are Alpha Kappa Rho fraternity members who are now professionals.

For the Christmas season, SAC East initiated “Care to Share,” one of the group’s outreach projects in the city.

To show love and care to the less fortunate, SAC East distributed kilos of rice, packs of noodles and canned goods to 300 families and Christmas gifts to 200 children in Bankal.

The outreach activity was led by SAC East assistant deputy chairman Lawrence Charles Parrotina, SAC overall chairman Omar Sasing and SAC East organizer Washington Wash. This was the sixth outreach program of SAC East in 2020.

The group’s first outreach was conducted at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. SAC East distributed food packs to frontliners in all checkpoints in Lapu-Lapu City and in the neighboring town of Cordova.

SAC East also donated 50 reams of bond paper to a public school in Barangay Canjulao, Lapu-Lapu City in its “Bond Paper Natin, Module Nila’’ project. The group also donated books to the Lapu-Lapu City public library.

Skeptron alumni also has a nutrition program for 70 children through the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s office in Cordova. SAC also provided medication and assisted indigent patients’ hospitalization.

THREAT. According to a Capitol consultant, the Cebu City Government is threatening to shut down the Cebu North Bus Terminal at the back of SM City Cebu (left) and the Cebu South Bus Terminal along N. Bacalso Ave. for operating without a business permit. The Province, which runs both terminals, maintains that it operates the facilities as a public service for passengers going to the province and vice versa. /
